How to Make Lemon Herb Salt

If you enjoy recipes from me, your friendly neighborhood Kitchen Witch, then you’ll be familiar with my Lemon Herb Salt because, like Emeril with his Essence, I use this beautiful salt in many of my dishes.

Not only does it add incredible flavour, it looks just beautiful all done up in a jar – making it an inexpensive, and impressive hostess gift over the holiday season.

And making it is really just as easy as 1, 2, 3!

Lemon Herb Salt

1. Dry the herbs and zest slightly by leaving them on the counter for an hour or two.
2. In a small spice or coffee grinder, pulse salt with lemon zest, dried herbs, and pepper until salt forms smaller crystals and mixture is blended, about 30 seconds.
