But, while I always say "salt awakens flavor," there are definitely things you can do to up the flavor of the foods you are eating. I like to think about focusing on the other flavors you can enjoy such as sweet, heat, fat, acid and herbs. Which flavors can be added to homemade simple syrup that will keep well in the fridge? Homemade simple syrups are so much fun to make and easy as pie. All you need is an even ratio of 1 part sugar and 1 part water. The sugar can either be white sugar or you can use honey or maple syrup.
Combine them in a saucepan over a medium heat and cook, stirring continuously, until the sweetener dissolves. When I make simple syrups, I like to think of them like a tea: Pick whichever flavors you like and add it into the mixture. The heat will cause the flavors to steep and infuse into the simple syrup. Once the simple syrup is made, make sure it cools completely before putting it in the fridge. Simple syrups can last in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a month. How do you make a simple vinaigrette and assemble a well-balanced salad?
That's my little mnemonic device to remember all the things a dressing needs: seasoning, acid, fat and emulsifier. Start by combining the acid and seasoning salt in a bowl or Mason jar.

Learn the best way to make gravy taste less salty, so you can confidently serve it with your mashed potatoes and turkey on Thanksgiving. Good gravy puts that rich, velvety finishing touch on your holiday feast—but what happens when you go a little overboard with the salt?
We know just how to make food less salty, and we're here to share that knowledge with you. If your gravy is too salty, give one of these techniques a spin to get your special dinner back on track. Before we get into proven methods of how to make gravy less salty, let's first debunk one of the most commonly purported but incorrect solutions: adding potatoes to overly salty gravy or soup doesn't solve the problem.
In his tome What Einstein Told His Cook: Kitchen Science Explained , Robert Wolke, professor emeritus in chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh, conducted multiple controlled experiments with potatoes in both unsalted and overly salty water.
While the potatoes absorbed the salty water, they didn't cut the salty taste of the liquid one bit. So now that you know what doesn't work, let's get down to the business of how to fix over-salted gravy. Milk can go a long way in solving the salty gravy problem. The creaminess in milk and other dairy products desensitizes your taste buds, making the sauce taste less salty.
Using dairy adds richness, too. Try stirring in heavy cream, half and half, milk, yogurt, or sour cream.
