Rosemary Sage Salt

If you grow herbs, be they in your windowsill or in a garden box outside, you need to use them before they go bad. Because herbs have specific flavors, they may not pair well with your average meal. How do you use them before they either wilt on the stalk or get eaten by bugs? Well, a great way to preserve herbs is to dry or dehydrate them. That way, you can use them as a seasoning, as opposed to using them in their raw form.

If you notice that your herbs start growing like they have a new zest for life, it is very satisfying. That means your gardening skills are working! It also means that you have to use them as soon as possible. That’s where this herb salt enters the equation. Not only does it taste amazing, but it also preserves the herbs, so you don’t have to worry about them going bad. Once you make this rosemary sage salt, or other herb salt based what herbs you’re growing, you’ll be obsessed.

This salt calls for rosemary, sage, and garlic, but you can use parsley, basil, and garlic, or lemon zest, lavender, and thyme if you like that combination. Plus, flavoring salt with strong herbaceous flavors actually prompts you to use less salt in your food. Herb salt gives off such prominent flavor that you can use it more as an addition or added seasoning element at the end of the cooking process.
