Ingredients needed

Salt: I like to use coarse sea salt for this blend because you will be adding it to a food processor. Feel free to use kosher salt or Himalayan sea salt.

Fresh Rosemary: Rosemary is an herb that has a slight woodsy and earthy flavor.

Lemon Zest: You can leave this ingredient out but I find it adds a fresh, element to the spice blend.

Recipe tips

• Don’t have a food processor, no problem. Finely chop the rosemary with a sharp knife. You can still use coarse sea salt or a fine sea salt.
• Try not to over bake the rosemary or it will burn. You could also leave the zest and rosemary out to dry for 1-2 hours instead of baking.
• Make sure not to blend the salt too much or it will become powder.
• Don’t use table salt for this recipe, instead use course salt or kosher salt.

How to store

Store this salt in an airtight container like a jar with lid. Keep in a cool, dry place. This should last about a year if stored properly.
