5 ways to remove excess salt from dishes

Add a peeled potato to the dish while it is cooking. Add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice, as the acidity can help balance out the saltiness. Diluting the dish with more ingredients, such as adding more vegetables or protein, can also help. Another simple solution is to rinse the dish with water, but this should be done sparingly as it can also wash away other flavours. Using unsalted butter or cream can help to mellow out the saltiness without altering the overall flavour too much.
