Instructions

  1. In a cozy bowl, combine the sea salt, torn chive blossoms, and lemon zest.
  2. Mix everything gently until it’s all well blended and fragrant.
  3. Spread the mixture in a thin layer on a parchment-lined tray.
  4. Let it dry at room temperature for 2–4 days, or until it’s fully dry.
  5. If you’re in a hurry, you can dry it in a low oven at 170°F for 1–2 hours—just make sure to check on it often.
  6. Once your salt is dry and heavenly, store it in an airtight jar.
  7. Use it as a finishing salt to elevate eggs, meats, salads, or roasted veggies.

Notes

  1. Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. Use within 6 months for best flavor.
