The recipe intentionally doesn't include salt which allows you to salt your dishes exactly to your preferences. When you are salting your dish we recommend adding ½ tsp. of salt at time then tasting it. Continue adding ½ tsp. at a time and tasting until the flavor pops and the level of saltiness is just right for you.
