Need low sodium recipes that actually taste good? We’re here to help!
I’m Kelly Jensen, a cookbook author, recipe developer, and founder of LowSoRecipes!
I’m here to help you learn to cook & build amazing flavor in your meals without adding salt. Whether you’re new to low sodium cooking, are a seasoned pro, or are just looking for ways to consume less salt, you’ve come to the right place!
My Recipe Experience
I’ve spent 8 years developing, creating, and testing recipes for global brands, national food campaigns, and testing cookbook recipes before publication. I have developed over 1,000 recipes for all types of cuisines and diets, made easily accessible for home cooks.
Great low sodium recipes can be hard to find! I know first-hand. Cutting salt or sodium out of your diet can be difficult, especially in a world of convenience foods and pre-packaged meals.
I want to focus on what you can eat, not what you can’t. Every single recipe on this site has been created by me & tested in our kitchen (and thoroughly enjoyed afterwards!) – published totally free for you here. Every recipe has a real human touch 🙂
Our Low Sodium Journey
My husband and I have spent 8 years now building a healthy lifestyle through limiting sodium intake. His doctor recommended he consume less sodium, and ever since we’ve made shifts in our lifestyle to enjoy recipes with less salt and preservatives! There is so much literature on the benefits of lowering sodium intake, and food is one part of that.
As a food blogger and freelance recipe developer, I’ve spent years developing plant-based versions of my favorite recipes. But as our diets moved in a “low so” direction, I wanted to create this site specifically for our low sodium recipes that I was creating in our kitchen.
As a recipe developer, my goal is to make the most delicious, flavorful recipes with the lowest sodium! Eating low in sodium doesn’t mean you can’t have big flavors.
In my professional life, I’m a digital librarian, and I’ve always been passionate about helping people find the information and resources they need. I built this website to be the resource I was looking for many years ago when we started our low so journey. And I hope it helps each one of you visiting!
Our First Cookbook
In December 2024 we launched our first cookbook, which we couldn’t be more proud of! Low Sodium Dinners: 100+ Low Sodium Recipes That Actually Taste Good is a wonderful compilation of main dishes and entrees, side dishes, and salads.

Sodium Does NOT Always Equal Salt
Sodium is in many pre-packaged foods you buy, it goes way beyond the salt shaker. Sodium can be used as a preservative and an additive in all kinds of foods, even if they don’t taste ‘salty’ to you. We have amazing low sodium recipes here, resources, and simple lifestyle swaps and tips to help you enjoy your LOW SO life.

I have had the honor to have LowSoRecipes featured in hundreds of websites and publications! We’ve been cited, recommended, and shared in these sources.

I had the great pleasure of joining the Cooking Chat podcast on 2024 interviewed by David Crowley! We discussed my background in sustainable food ideas, and I had a great time connecting with him!

Nutrition Coaching
In addition to creating all the recipes on this site, I just recently obtained my Nutrition Coaching certification! As of February 2026, I am an ISSA-certified Nutrition Coach. I’m excited to bring more food and nutrition information that I learned in my courses to my kitchen and daily life.
