Why do I add lemon or zest to everything?

Reading some of my posts over, I realized that in a lot of my cooking I use lemon juice or the zest of lemon. If you don't like lemon, you can substitute it with something else. I use it though because it has such a refreshing and light flavor. I don't like to use a lot of salt because it isn't all that great for you. Because of that, I must find other ways to flavor my dishes. Not only do I use a lot of citrus in my dishes but I also love love love using fresh herbs like basil. These ingredients add so much great flavor to dishes without making them high in sodium. Try experimenting with some yourself and see what awesome flavor combos you can come up with.
