Salt craving...

I have managed to find stuff to satisfy most of my cravings when I don't have a lot of calories for say chocolate or cookies to satisfy my sweet tooth. However I am struggling to find something to help my salty tooth. Any suggestions?

    I have a salt tooth instead of a sweet tooth, this is what is currently in my stash at work: roasted salted nuts, beef jerky, hummus, Kind Bars in the savory flavors, cheese and sunflower seeds. I also like to get the smaller bags of chips at the register at my grocery store. That way I can get a potato chip fix but not have a huge amount left over.

    One thing that MIGHT help, I've read that a lot of times when we crave salt, it is because we are dehydrated, so you might want to try drinking.
    I also like protein chips (some of them) or seaweed when I want something salty.

    Cucumbers with salt?? Why didn't I think of this before? That sounds amazing.

    Slices tomatoes with salt are also good. I haven't done that for ages, but this thread reminded me.

    Pickled asparagus and pickled green beans. I buy them in the produce section and a few go along way to stop the salt craving.
