You could try adding some garlic powder to your mixture, it might help match the flavor or. . . - mistral - 5:13pm on 03/19/18

I’m thinking the same thing. And also roasted garlic. The best garlic bread - Curious1 - 6:06pm on 03/19/18

This is already cooked and we served for dinner, that's how I found out it's too salty. [NT] - oli - 10:55pm on 03/19/18

Cut it up and use to season beans, hash, greens. You could also try soaking the slices. . . - mistral - 11:55pm on 03/19/18

It may not taste quite as overwhelmingly salty in a sandwich also--thin sliced with cheese - Charley - 11:00am on 03/20/18
