Nothing... I use more pepper. Have you seen the various flavored
peppers in grinders? I keep lemon pepper in the grinder/jar on my
table.

Some things just need a little salt (no matter what you do) or else
they taste flat. I don't meant salting at the table though. The
amount of salt someone would normally add at the table would do for an
entire pot of soup, for instance.
