Starkist albacore low sodium tuna.. YUM!0

beans! chick peas, fava beans, lentils, whatever. If they're beans, they're going to be tasty in a salad.0

If you like cheese, but want to avoid the sodium, go for Swiss. An ounce of natural swiss has between 50-60mg of sodium, which is really quite low!0 -
salmon, quinoa, grilled chicken, packet of tuna0

I really like to add Dark Red Kidney Beans and some freshly sliced beets to my salads. YUM! I rinse off the kidney beans before using them which helps lower some of the sodium. Toss in some cilantro and seasonings and it's a delicious salad with good protein and vitamins!0

Black beans, avocado, pulled pork0

I add a hard-boiled egg or a couple scoops of lentils. Lentils are my new favorite source lol. Or boneless skinless organic chicken breast.0

Edamame always gets my vote!0

I buy low-sodium albacore and use organic salsa for a dressing! It. is. fabulous!!0

I second the recommendation for beans on a salad- personally, I love making black beans for dinner and then throwing a half a cup or so on a bed of spinach.... it definitely redefines a salad. I also use sunflower seeds (non-salted)0

Low sodium tuna not so bad, neither is a tbsp of cheese. I have my sodium at 1500 per day. If I have too much in one meal, I balance it out for the rest of the day.0
