Nu-Salt is a salt substitute and you can get a sample sent to you from this website: http://www.nusalt.com/sample.html
Can be prepared ahead of time and keeps in the refrigerator at least a week.
(Didn't last much longer than that due to being eaten!)
In place of red wine vinegar I have used regular and white vinegar.
I also have used Morton's no-salt in place of Nu-Salt.
