Preserve your herb harvest by making flavourful herb salt. I used Himalayan pink salt, and a mix of herbs of sage, rosemary, thyme, parsley and oregano, but you can use whatever combos you love with different salts. It's easily customizable and makes great gifts.
|
- Wash the herbs and remove coarse stems and any discolored leaves. Dry thoroughly.
- Place the herbs, garlic and salt in a food processor and pulse until you have a coarse grind. Don't over do it, you don't want a paste or puree. You can use a sharp knife to chop everything until you have a coarse mixture.
- The salt will be slightly wet at this point. Spread the salt on a baking tray and let it dry for a couple of hours. You can also preheat the oven to 120F/50C. Turn it off, then place in the baking tray and let it sit until it is dry to the touch. Store the herb salt in a glass jar and use as you wish. The juicy
vine ripened tomatoes

Great way of preserving excess homegrown herbs. I like the bottle that you use to store your herb salt.
I would use this on everything!
Oh, what a great idea, perfect for so many delicious dishes, I shoukd definitely give it a try!☺
Terrific idea! We have lots of herbs in our garden this year, and it'll be a shame to lose them to frost when the weather gets cold. This is the perfect solution. Thanks!
Great idea! I am definitely going to make this. What gorgeous tomatoes and wonderful photo of them, Angie. I wish tomato season would last and last. We've been eating fresh tomatoes almost every day :)
Your salt sounds fantastic Angie but I have to admit those tomatoes really steal the show! What a great way to enjoy summers best produce.
I have to make this Angie is a really lovely idea. I love herbs and use a lot! xo
What an interesting idea. I didn't know you could make your own and it will add lots of flavour to the food.
Such a terrific idea! This salt sounds perfect for garden tomatoes and a whole lot more!
I need to start preserving my herbs in dried form; what a great reminder. Oh my those tomatoes with the dark background is a work of art in photography Angie!
That's interesting. I thought the herbs should be dried in the oven or air-dried before mixing them with the salt. But the other way around must be just as effective, if not even more. Great tips.
What a great idea. Will this kind of blend keep indefinitely?
This is brilliant! And so pretty. They would certainly make beautiful gifts. How long does the salt last and how do you store it? In the fridge?
I love homemade salt mixture, my latest one was wild garlic salt in spring. I am keeping this in mind, I have most of those herbs in my garden and the addition of garlic is just wonderful.
Oh Angie, this is such a great idea, I have so much fresh herbs in my garden...such a nice way to preserve it!
Have a great week ahead!
Hi angie, I have never made herb salt. I have been getting crazy with tomatoes so this will be the great recipe to try.
I have a similar recipe that also adds some red pepper flake. I would love this on those ripe tomatoes!
Oh I love this recipe, I know what I will do with any extra herbs I have this year. Great with a bit of garlic too. Thanks!
I am keeping this to try! I love herbed condiments!
what a wonderful idea to make this and I think I would use this up pretty quick great flavors
Hmmmm herb and spice combos can really make or break a dish, but I feel like this one - this one would pair well with ALL the things (maybe except pumpkin ice cream, LOL).
Angie, what a fantastic idea! And PERFECT for those beautiful summer tomatoes!
What a wonderful idea! Love it! Bookmarked! Thanks for sharing, Angie!
This sounds like a wonderful idea. Great way to use your herbs from the garden.
This sounds absolutely lovely! I will have to try making this. You are right, it would make a great gift also!
I’ve never made a herb salt before. This would be great on salmon. Have a great week Angie :)
That's such a great idea! This is something I'd love to try in future. Makes a great gift too.
This is a great idea! I've been drying a lot of my garden herbs lately, but this is a great way to use up some more.
This is a brilliant idea and can't wait to try it. It would make for great gifts too. Awesome girl.
Oh, this is interesting and sounds very good, Angie! A great use of herbs and I imagine it would be good on most dishes. Thanks for the recipe!
Angie, this is a wonderful idea! I usually don't care for commercial herb salts and blends, so this is perfect!
This is beautiful way to preserve the herbs I grow on my balcony. Thak you Angie !
What a great idea!!
Angie, I am loving this so much. The salt is beautiful but your tomatoes are begging me to come over! ^.^
I can imagine how good this is on so many different things, especially tomatoes!
Amazing way of using herbs to make personalized salt for seasoning, Angie!
Love this spread Angie, great way to use herbs!
Oh man I so need to make this for my father-in-law for christmas - he would go nuts for this!
First of all let me say that the photo of the tomatoes is breathtaking! Your photography is always beautiful, but that photo just makes me stop and stare. Now for the salt - I have a garden full of herbs and this is such a great way to use some of them. Oh yes, this salt would be fabulous on sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado toast, any number of foods. Thanks Angie for a great salt!
homemade mixes are the best
I thought I commented on this lovely post already. It's actually quite frustrating because more than half of my comments disappear, I have no idea where they go. I think blogger hates me because it happens on another blogger site.
This sounds super delicious especially on tomatoes Angie! I'm thinking cucumbers too! The two veggies I'm craving this week. Your tomato pics are gorgeous!
What a great idea! I have so many herbs right now from my garden and was just thinking of drying them but this sounds so good!
I love this idea of creating my own salt and using himalayan which is so good for you. Fun recipe and a great homemade gift idea.
Oh, what a great idea, perfect for so many delicious dishes, I shoukd definitely give it a try!☺

Angie,
Thank you so much for sharing this- I have a garden full of herbs that will soon need to have their final harvest. Now I know what to do with them.. sounds great
I love this flavoured salt, what a brilliant idea. Especially to dry it out after adding the moist ingredients. Thanks Angie, this is a winner!
If everybody knew how easy it is to make your own herbs, they wouldn't buy from the store! This is the perfect condiment!
This is something I'll be making soon. The herbed salt would make a nice hostess gift.
This is a brilliant idea Angie, I am definitely trying this one.
