This gourmet seasoning salt goes well beyond basic garlic salt. It layers dry mustard, oregano, marjoram, thyme, curry powder, garlic powder, onion powder, celery seed, and dill into one versatile blend that adds complexity to anything you sprinkle it on.

The herb combination is what sets this apart from store-bought seasoning salts. Oregano, marjoram, and thyme form a classic Mediterranean trio, while the curry powder adds an unexpected warmth that makes the whole blend more interesting. Dry mustard brings a sharp, peppery bite without visible heat, and celery seed adds that earthy, savory depth you can’t quite place but definitely notice when it’s missing.

Use this anywhere you’d reach for plain salt: scrambled eggs, roasted vegetables, grilled meats, popcorn, buttered pasta, or stirred into soups. It’s meant to replace your default seasoning, not sit in the back of the cabinet.

Kitchen Tips

  • Mix thoroughly. The smaller powders like garlic and curry settle to the bottom while the leafy herbs float to the top. A good shake before each use helps.
  • Start with less than you think. This is salt-forward (a full cup of salt to ¼ cup of herbs and spices), so it’s easy to over-season.
  • Store in an airtight container away from heat and moisture. The dried herbs absorb humidity and clump.
  • Makes a great homemade gift in a nice jar with a label. It keeps for 3-4 months at full potency.

Variations

  • Reduced sodium: Cut the salt to ½ cup and increase the herbs proportionally for a more herb-forward, lower-sodium blend.
  • Smoky version: Add a teaspoon of smoked paprika for a barbecue-friendly twist.
