Salt Free Cajun Seasoning Recipe

Our household loves cajun food! This salt free cajun seasoning recipe is one we use regularly to flavor all kinds of food.

Of course, many of the savory, flavorful, and spicy cajun food recipes call for cajun or creole seasoning.

Although there are some delicious brands available in your grocery store like Slap Ya Mama or Tony Cachere’s you will find the main ingredient of most of the commercial cajun seasonings is, not surprisingly, salt.

You’ll quickly discover that if you use enough of these blends to give your cajun recipes the right amount of flavor they can cause your dish to become way too salty. This was an issue that used to plague me when I was cooking some of our favorites.

I have no explanation for why it took me so long to realize that I could make my own homemade salt free cajun seasoning. However, once that epiphany hit me I started mixing up my own spice blend for cajun recipes and have never looked back!
