Thanks but I meant something I could purchase at the grocery store. Thanks.
Sorry, I've never tried any from the shops. I figure I probably have all the spices in my spice rack anyway, so most things like that (taco seasoning, pumpkin pie spice), I just make my own.
 
What is your goal with the all purpose seasoning? Are you looking for something that can season anything and everything from fish to meat to pies? It will be hard to find something that can fit everything. You may have to settle With 2 or 3 different seasonings. Anyway here in Portugal most supermarkets sell a mix of dried herbs with dry lemon and salt, it’s great for fish and doesn’t work bad with chicken and pork either. You’ll be limiting your creativity in the kitchen with only one seasoning but if you can have one and only one so be it. Any mix of black and white pepper with salt is also versatile enough to work.
 
I'm looking for something to take the place of salt now that I'm on a no-added-salt diet. Lawrys and Mike's make them but i was hoping someone would have a suggestion.

I am limited to 2grams of salt per day. I haven't found any all-purpose seasoning that will work on everything. But, herbs and spices work just as well as salt in making good flavor. I would print out CookieMonster's list, and use it. It is a good opportunity to learn what seasoning to use when you cook a particular kind of food... and why. If you really want to up your cooking game, learn to cook by taste. That list will give you a head start. :okay:

Not seasoning as such, but the only thing i can think of that improves the flavour of almost everything is lemon juice.
 
I'm good (for everything except icecream)
