I tried the recipe using just salt and no nitrates. I think I will stick with the recipe I have, which also uses Tenderquick. The other was just tooo salty for my family and the grey color was offputting to us. To each his own, I guess. Iknow some people are sensitive to nitrates as a preservative, and others just choose not to eat anything with them added. Personally, I love the occasional hot dog, pepperoni pizza, and red corned beef and pastrami.
