Aromatic Sea Salt Recipe

Fall is the perfect time to prepare this garden herb sea salt.

You can literally use whatever is left in your garden to make this - vegetable tops, herbs, etc. It's the best way to freshen up your dishes throughout the winter. And as it's made from 40% vegetables and herbs, it's a great way of reducing salt content.

This is my recipe with the salt-herb ratio that I use and the herbs that I use most often. I like to put cilantro that's gone to seed, dill that's in flower, carrot tops, beet and onion tops, garlic tops... pretty much anything!

Everyone is a fan of this magic condiment that has been nicknamed, "mom's salt" or "garden salt" in my house.

I hope you will love it as much as we do, and maybe it will get a nickname in your house too!
