Too much salt in a dish can happen to anyone, even the most experienced chefs. Rather than throwing out your dish, try these ingenious tips to save an overly salty dish.
Add an acidic ingredient
Acidity can neutralize saltiness and balance flavors. Try:
Fresh lemon juice
Rice vinegar
These ingredients add a fresh touch while reducing excess salt. Caution: Avoid this method for dishes containing dairy products, as the acidity can cause them to curdle.
Use egg whites
Egg whites absorb excess salt, especially in soups and stews.
Separate the white of an egg and immerse it whole in your mixture.
Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove it.
