Low Sodium Black Bean Patties with Fresh Salsa
Our good friends Drew and Karen from Dak’s Salt Free Spices went on Good Day Alabama and cooked up some goodness! I am honored they chose to highlight a recipe from my low sodium cookbook. It is the recipe for my low sodium black bean patties with fresh salsa. A great meatless burger option with southwestern flavors.

So Much Flavor You Won’t Miss The Meat
The best thing about this low sodium dish is that you probably have all of the ingredients already in your pantry. Black beans are super high in protein and can be found at several stores in a no salt added canned version. If you aren’t adventurous enough to use dried black beans. Frozen corn should not have the salt added, or you can find no salt added canned corn. Even better, fresh corn would really make this dish shine.
Dak’s Taco Knight Salt Free Seasoning
I use cumin, paprika, and chili powder in this recipe, but to save time and for ease, these burgers really rock with Dak’s Taco Knight Salt Free Seasoning. I reviewed the Taco Knight seasoning here. Remember that Dak’s is a low sodium ally and partner with Hacking Salt and they offer 10% off of your order and FREE shipping when you enter the code HACKING SALT. These burgers are so well spiced and flavorful that you won’t miss the meat or salt at all.
