This looks good, but what can I use instead of salt? I'm watching my sodium intake. - 10/5/08

I use very little salt, really just to help get some of the bitterness out the of the eggplant. But you can omit the salt and increase the Mrs. Dash or try a little extra italian seasoning. Any herb just adds more flavor.
