How To Make Butcher Salt
Butcher salt is an easy way to add flavor to your cooking. This classic butcher salt recipe is made with salt, rosemary, thyme, marjoram, and sage.
Try this recipe on anything from Grilled Steak to Roasted Pork Tenderloin. You can also use butcher salt to season roasted vegetables. Think of it as a kicked-up version of salt.
I have a batch of butcher salt on hand at all times. It is super handy for seasoning everything. This flavor blend will add more flavor than plain old salt and pepper.
Use it for seasoning any cut of meat, and add it to soups or casseroles. You can use this salt blend in place of salt in almost any recipe.
How To Make Butcher Salt
There isn’t any real science to making a salt blend. Simply measure the ingredients into a bowl and mix them.
Store butcher salt in a salt dish or a salt grinder.
How To Store Homemade Butcher Salt
Salt Dish
A gorgeous salt box looks great on your counter. Use this marble dish for storing your favorite salt blends. I recommend using Kosher salt if you don’t use a grinder.
Salt Grinder
This easy-to-use salt grinder is excellent because it’s stored upright with a lid. This means no messy salt all over the place.

What Kind Of Salt Is Best
The most crucial ingredient in this recipe is salt. And all salt is not created equal.
I recommend never using iodized for anything. When cooking, it is best to use an all-natural salt such as sea salt or Kosher salt.
Best Salt To Use For Cooking
When making a salt blend for a salt grinder, use coarse salt. Kosher salt is coarser than fine sea salt, but it works well in a salt blend recipe, especially if you don’t want to use a spice grinder.
- Himalayan Pink Salt
- Coarse Sea Salt
- Kosher Salt – Diamond Crystal, Morton, or Jacobson brands.
- Redmond’s Real Salt – Coarse ground
Reliable Places to Buy Salt
- Amazon has many salt varieties to choose from.
- Jacobson Salt – Oregon
