The salt is actually the preservative in this recipe. You can give it a try, but I can assume the texture will be different and it may not keep as long.

It really is a great food gift idea. Hope you give it a try.

I love your idea of giving this as a gift! What a great homemade recipe!

I know right? Mine are growing like crazy too. Time to make a couple of different ones.

I really like this herb salt too, it can be made so many ways.

It is a fun way to preserve some of those garden fresh herbs.

Wow what a fantastic new tool for my cooking arsenal. I will make this with so many different herb combinations! Thank you!

Because I grow lots of herbs I decided to make this recipe. I’m so glad I found it because I love using this herb salt when I cook. It’s a unique way to add flavor to a meal. I used sage and thyme from my garden.

I have so many herbs that I don’t know what to do with, so this was perfection! I’m going to make as gifts too!!

Glad you enjoyed this recipe for homemade herb salt.

I made your salt with basil. It was perfect to sprinkle over tomatoes. Really lovely!!!
