If you ask a holistic nutritionist or a chef you will get huge protests!

But today, lets just get down to a recipe…I decided to make some flavored salt for Holiday gifts and this one is now a staple in my kitchen.

Herb Garlic Sea Salt

1 cup loosely packed fresh herbs; leaves plucked, washed and dried (you can use one or more of: dill, rosemary, basil, sage, chives, tarragon, oregano, marjarom, thyme)

I 1/4 cup Redmond sea salt, fine
2 to 3 cloves of garlic
optional: 2 tablespoons of lemon or orange zest

Whirl up all ingredients in a food processor.  Spread on a half sheet pan and dry in a warm *oven.  Stir occasionally to break up lumps. When dry (about 1 hour), cool completely before storing in airtight jars.

*a gas oven with the pilot or turn on the oven for about 15 minutes to heat up then turn off before putting in the salt to dry.
