Making spice and salt blends is as easy as mixing them all together and doing a few rounds of taste testing to make sure you like the final product. Making a gourmet herbed salt also has room for some creativity - don't be scared to veer away from traditional flavours and try something new!
How To Make Gourmet Herb Salt
You can use Himalayan salt or Atlantic sea salt, and you can use fine or coarse salt or even a mixture of both for texture.
1 part salt to 3 or 4 parts herbs of choice is a general rule of thumb when making a herb salt, but feel free to play around and adjust the ratios to your desired taste. Some may prefer more herbs so that the flavours really shine.
A mortar and pestle makes for easy mixing, blending and grinding.
