From spring into summer I have the citrus seasoning salt sitting right next to my salt and pepper on the kitchen counter.  A hand reach away for when I need to add it to what’s cooking.

Citrus-Herb Seasoning Salt

3/4 cup  coarse salt (Coarse Kosher Salt)
2 Tablespoons  lemon zest
4 teaspoons  dried rosemary
3 teaspoons  dried thyme
3 teaspoons  dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon  paprika
1/2 teaspoon  red-pepper flakes

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl.   Store in an airtight container, up to 3 months.  Makes 1 Cup

Ideas & Uses

○  sprinkle on chicken, pork or fish before baking/cooking
○  add to balsamic vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil dipping sauce for bread

 Salt packaging-3

This packaging idea came about because I needed a quick way to package the salt seasoning mix as gifts and I didn’t have lids for the jelly jars.  They turned out cute so I wanted to share it.

Materials

small glass containers  (jelly jars-3) ⎪ plastic wrap ⎪ double sided tape ⎪ twine ⎪ scissors (decorative scissors-optional) ⎪ labels (see below to print free labels)

Directions

1.  Fill the glass container(s) to the desired amount.

2.  Seal the top opening with 2 layers of plastic wrap and trim off excess leaving about    3/4-1 inch along the sides of the container.

3.  Wrap twine 2 – 3 times around the container to secure the plastic wrap edges (clear tape will work too or do both).

4.  Print, cut and attach the label to the top of the container with the double sided tape (see image above).

    How did I miss this post? I am addicted to Trader Joes 21 Salute Seasoning and can’t always get there to replenish my stock…SO…this is what I am doing next. Thanks sweet Kay.
