Whether it's for nutritional value, taste, or other...
I've recently fallen in love with toasted sesame seed oil. Pouring a little bit on veggies or stir fries goes a long way.

Cilantro. Makes even the blandest salad more tasty. I drop fresh leaves on my eggs too. Delicious!11

Flake sea salt for sprinkling on anything. It adds a little salty crunch. And you don’t need much.8

Plain greek yogurt. You can use it for savory things, as a sour cream replacement (my favorite method) and of course for sweet too.

Sour cream. I feel like in a lot of dishes it can substitute for cheese (and/or salad dressing) without my even noticing there's no cheese. A dollop in most soups, lentils, beans, makes it creamy and delicious. I like full fat or light sour cream, either one.6

I recently discovered Harissa seasoning. Good on veggies. Olives. Fries. Popcorn.4

My cousin and I both claim that sour cream should have it's own special food group because it's so good.4 -
A good hot sauce. I know spice isn't for everyone, but I go through bottles of it. It makes even the blandest food taste exciting.15

Liquid smoke. Adds a really nice savory flavor to things. I use it a lot with eggs and other savory dishes. I'll mix in a tiny bit to salad dressing to really amp it up.5

Agreed. And since cilantro was mentioned, I'll say dill.6 -
If you like Asian food I would say fresh ginger. I never could get the right flavor until I realized what a difference it makes. That and Sesame oil.14

Ground Golden Flaxseed. Nice flavor, all the Omegas of fish oil without the smell, ALA to help fight inflammation & they help control hunger. I add this stuff to at least half of my meals.5

I use this a lot as well!!!1 -
If I have to pick just one, it's probably Penzey's Fox Point/Justice. They're the same spice blend, except Fox Point has salt and Justice doesn't. I put it in and on everything; notable examples include scrambled eggs, pizza, pasta, and beans.
If I can list more than one, let me know3
