So excited to share this post. Yesterday, my friend Kim N. brought me something she whipped up in her kitchen. We both love basil but I specially like Thai Basil for it's licorice notes. She used regular basil for this seasoned salt but it was simply amazing, specially with vine-ripened tomatoes!!
Kim took basil and mixed it with Kosher salt and blended it in the food processor. Then, she spread out the mix in the oven and baked it at low temperature till the salt dried. After baking, she ran it through the food processor a second time. That's it. What a brilliant idea to make your own basil salt!
Thanks, Kim. I always learn so much from you.

Ooh I love this! I ALWAYS use flavoured salts, but I have never made my own. This is something I will absolutely have to do!
Some things are so easy, it just never occurs to you to try it. Well, guess who is going to have a variety of flavored salts in her cabinet, this year. So many of my herbs that come in that I thought I had run out of ways of preserving them. Now I have something to do between the hours of three and four in the morning! Thank you so much for sharing. Come visit when you can.
