I love to make plant-infused seasonings. I like to think it's a healthy addiction -- making culinary concoctions + condiments that elevate our meals + help us to make healthy choices in our 'every day' . I was reminded recently of a project I made a few years back + I'm hoping you try this one. You'll want to try this one-- Citrus Salt !!

Creating herb salts is a passion of mine. Check out this post all about how to make DIY herb-infused salt!
In addition to these ideas, creating 'citrus-infused' salts is easy + fun + delicious!

You'll want to make this Citrus Infused Salt !

CITRUS infused SEA SALT

This is so easy to make as you will see. Try citrusy salt on or with seafood or on steamed or roasted veggies or in Mediterranean inspired meals.

Ingredients

¼ cup coarse sea salt
2 tablespoon peppercorns
2 tablespoon dried orange peel/ zest or try grapefruit, lemon or lime!
1 tablespoon dried minced garlic NOT garlic salt

Instructions

This is a super way to use herb + spice grinders. I often have one that I've purchased, that is empty now.
Put the peppercorns into a mortar and pestle and bash up a bit so that they will stay suspended (i.e. not hit the bottom due to being the heaviest participant!)
Add all ingredients into a 1 cup measuring cup. Mix it up.
Pour into your grinder. |

Citrus Infused Salt + Herbs

We can combine some of our garden herbs (or herbs from farmers' markets etc), chopped and dried with our citrus components.
Why not add lavender, roses, fennel or coriander.. Basil or Oregano ?
