DIY Citrus Salt
 
 
Author:
Recipe type: Seasoning
Ingredients
  • ½ cup kosher salt (or sugar)
  • zest of 2 oranges, 1-2 lemons, 1 lime (about 1 - 2 TBSP worth)
  • ** You can use any combination of citrus you have on hand. Want just a lemon salt, just use a few lemons! **
Instructions
  1. On a baking sheet, spread salt on a sheet of parchment paper. Zest all citrus fruits over the salt. With a fork, “muddle” the citrus zest and the salt together. This will not only release all the oils from the zest, but also will help separate the zest throughout the salt. Let sit out in room temperature at least 24 hours. Throughout the day, mix and toss with fork.
  2. After 24 hours, zest should be completely dry and crumbles if touched. If still slightly wet, let air dry a few additional hours.
  3. Pour mixture into a small bowl or mortar, using a pestle, crush and grind the salt / zest to crumble zest pieces with the salt. Place citrus salt in an airtight container. Citrus salt will keep for several months at room temperature.
