Why I Love Easy Gift

Similar to my tomato salt, basil salt is a "twofer" powder! I get basil & salt in 1 powder - saving space and time while cooking. Another reason I love making my salt is that I get to control the basil-to-salt mixture. If I want more basil, I add less salt, etc.


You may be wondering how to use basil salt - what is its purpose? Today's post will cover how to use this salt, simply continue reading.


Basil grows in a garden box and makes a great gift when dried and paired with salt

How To Use Basil Salt


The uses for this flavorful salt are slightly limited, but with a little imagination, I'm sure you can find more uses. Topping pizza, pasta, tomatoes, or salads is how I've typically used this green salt.


A good rule of thumb is - if there is tomato, basil salt can be used. You may want to explore adding it to mixed veggies, corn, garlic bread, chicken, or watermelon. I find myself adding it to many "random" dishes in the kitchen. I'll think to myself "this dish needs something" and when I go to the spice cabinet I see basil salt there and "bingo" I've got my answer!


Try using different types of basil or salt to come up with your unique blend. Pink Himalayan salt would be great - and there are many varieties of basil that you can choose to grow.


How will you use your basil salt? Will you gift it or keep it for yourself?
