Raspberry Citrus Salt
Ingredients
- 6 tbsp coarse sea salt
- 3 tbsp freeze dried raspberries, crushed (about 1/2 cup whole)
- 1 tbsp combined lemon and lime zest (add directly to salt and let dry together)
- 1/2 tsp hibiscus powder (optional for rich color and tart flavor)
Instructions
Hibiscus Powder
- Add ~2 tbsp dried hibiscus flowers into a clean spice grinder. Grind into powder.
Raspberry Citrus Salt
- Crush the raspberries using a mortal and pestle (or spice grinder) until textured but not too fine.
- Zest your lemon and lime and add directly to the salt mixture. Let the combined mixture air dry, uncovered, in a thin layer for several hours or overnight, stirring occasionally.
- Once dry, combine with remaining ingredients and stir gently to distribute flavors and colors evenly.
- Store in an airtight spice jar or 4 oz mason jar in a cool, dry place.

- Sprinkle over grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu
- Add to summer salads (like watermelon & feta or citrus beet)
- Dust over roated beets or sweet potatoes
- Top goat cheese or brie with crackers for a fancy appetizer
- Sprinkle on chocolate-dipped strawberries or brownies
- Try on avocado toast with a drizzle of honey (trust me!)
