All the flavor, none of the salt!
I absolutely love fajitas. The seasoning is everything! This simple blend of spices delivers robust, smoky flavor without being too salty or too spicy. It's perfect if you're watching your sodium or following the DASH diet but still want that classic fajita punch. And bonus, it's naturally gluten free!
I sprinkle it on tofu , use it in my favorite fajita salad, chicken, salmon, whatever's going on the grill or sheet pan. Quick, healthy, and endlessly versatile.

DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. If you have high blood pressure your doctor may recommend the DASH diet to help you lower it.
The DASH diet layers beautifully with the Mediterranean Diet. It follows a similar eating pattern with a greater emphasis on potassium and reducing sodium. If you're following the DASH Diet you will notice it recommends more servings of lean proteins and low or non-fat dairy than the Mediterranean Diet.
While it might seem like the ingredients in low sodium fajita seasoning do not include gluten, sometimes manufacturers include fillers that contain gluten or cross contamination can cause it to include gluten. If you are sensitive to gluten it is probably best to make your own or buy fajita seasoning that is identified as gluten free.
