I use less salt than most people but for the most part I don't do much to avoid it. I get meats that aren't injected with salt and I use Sea Salt instead of table salt (less sodium).

My recommendation would be to try to get meats without salts in them. Look for words like "natural" and "preservative free". Sea Salt helps a little but don't count on it to solve all your problems. Keep in mind that things like sauces and condiments have lots of sodium in them. Get low sodium things where you can, most people wouldn't notice the difference in taste. Most of all, get exercise and drink lots of water.

I hope that helps. I usually don't have too much of a problem with water retention, the only time it's noticeable is the week before my period and since I've been carrying a water bottle everywhere the problem is almost gone.

Edit: Are you on a multivitamin of any kind? If not you may try that. Mineral imbalances are the main cause for water retention.
