A completely aesthetic recommendation: herbs and spices. For example, in your spinach salad, throw in some black pepper and aromatic herbs (e.g. buy a packet of mixed herbes de provence). And a little leftover bacon fat if you have any (Okay, that last one is not so healthy). Are you putting cumin in 70% of your stews yet? Consider it! :D
Fantastic point. I’m blessed with fairly simple tastes when it comes to food, and I’m fine with some of my meals being fairly bland (pasta salad, for example, or spinach salads). But when it’s easy and healthy, there’s no reason not to make the food taste better.
Sidenote: the longevity article points out that garlic is linked to longer lifespans. So seasoning with garlic both increases flavor and health.
