1. Add Potatoes

Toss in a few raw potato slices. They absorb excess salt as they cook, making your dish less salty without altering flavour much.

Add a splash of cream, milk, or yoghurt. Dairy helps neutralize saltiness and adds a creamy texture to soups and sauces.

Sprinkle a small amount of sugar. This counteracts saltiness and balances flavours, but be cautious not to overpower the dish with sweetness.

Mix in a bit of vinegar or lemon juice. The acidity cuts through saltiness and brightens up flavours, especially in sauces and dressings.
