HOMEMADE HERB SALT
Yes, the color in this salt will fade within a few weeks, but the herby flavor and aroma will remain intact for much longer. I described this as a finishing salt, meaning it's used to season cooked food at the table; however, it can also be used in place of regular salt in any recipe preparation.

Tips:
- Choose the right herbs: The type of herbs you use will determine the flavor of your salt substitute. Consider using a variety of herbs, such as basil, thyme, rosemary, oregano, and marjoram, to create a complex flavor profile.
- Use fresh or dried herbs: Both fresh and dried herbs can be used to make salt substitute. Fresh herbs will provide a more intense flavor, while dried herbs will have a more subtle flavor. If using dried herbs, use about 1/3 of the amount of fresh herbs.
- Grind the herbs finely: The finer you grind the herbs, the better they will blend with the salt. You can use a mortar and pestle, a spice grinder, or a food processor to grind the herbs.
- Add other seasonings: In addition to herbs, you can also add other seasonings to your salt substitute, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or black pepper. This will help to create a more flavorful salt substitute.
- Store the salt substitute in an airtight container: Once you have made your salt substitute, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help to preserve the flavor and aroma of the salt substitute.
Conclusion:
Making your own herb salt substitute is a great way to reduce your sodium intake and add flavor to your food. With a variety of herbs and seasonings to choose from, you can create a salt substitute that is perfect for your taste. So next time you're cooking, reach for your homemade herb salt substitute instead of the salt shaker. Your taste buds will thank you!
