Sometimes you want to spice things up in the kitchen, and break out from the regular routine of using the same old salt and pepper. We came across the fantastic idea of flavoured salts, and have three easy versions you can make it minutes.

Ingredients

Tuscan Herb Salt

1/2 cup kosher salt
2 cups mixture of fresh sage, rosemary and thyme leaves
2 cloves garlic

Chili Lime Salt

1/2 cup kosher salt
1 T chili flakes , or to taste
zest of 2 limes

Texas Salt

1 t cayenne pepper
1 t ground cumin
2 T paprika
2 T garlic powder
2 T onion powder
2 T kosher salt
1 T dried oregano
1 T black pepper

Preparation

For the Tuscan Herb Salt

Add garlic clove, sage, rosemary, thyme and salt to food processor. Pulse until herbs are broken down and combined with salt. Spread mixture on baking sheet or large plate.  Let dry out for at least an hour (overnight is best), then pack in a sealed container.

For the Chili Lime Salt

Combine chili flakes, lime zest  and salt in a small bowl. Mix well to distribute the natural essential oils from the lime. Let dry out for at least and hour (overnight is best), then pack in a sealed container.
