HOMEMADE HERB SALT
Yes, the color in this salt will fade within a few weeks, but the herby flavor and aroma will remain intact for much longer. I described this as a finishing salt, meaning it's used to season cooked food at the table; however, it can also be used in place of regular salt in any recipe preparation.

Tips:
- Choose the right herbs: Different herbs have different flavors, so choose herbs that will complement the dish you are making. For example, rosemary and thyme are good for roasted chicken, while basil and oregano are good for Italian dishes.
- Use fresh herbs whenever possible: Fresh herbs have a more intense flavor than dried herbs, so they will give your dish a more pronounced flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount of dried herbs that you would use of fresh herbs.
- Toast the herbs before using them: Toasting the herbs will bring out their flavor and make them more aromatic. To toast the herbs, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the herbs. Cook the herbs for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until they are fragrant and slightly browned.
- Use herb salt as a finishing touch: Herb salt is a great way to add flavor to a dish just before serving. Sprinkle it on roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or fish, or use it to season soups and stews.
Conclusion:
Herb salt is a versatile and flavorful seasoning that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a way to add flavor to your food, reach for herb salt instead of salt. You won't be disappointed!
