I like keeping these seasoned and herb salts on hand to cook with. I’ve shared the recipe for homemade seasoned salt before. This version makes a larger batch and is tweaked just a bit.
Use the seasoned salt just like you would any other seasoned salt. I like using it in pasta dishes, on grilled meats and even on zucchini.
Homemade Italian Seasoned Salt
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Kosher salt
- 4 Tbs. oregano
- 4 Tbs. basil
- 4 Tbs. thyme
- 1 Tbs. crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 Tbs. fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
- Stir all ingredients together.
- Makes 2 jars, 1/2 pint each.
This Italian Herb Salt is wonderful for adding zest to chicken. Also, try it on fish and vegetables or a pinch on your salad. But remember – it is a salt. Use it in place of regular salt in a recipe. It isn’t good on bread. Trust me, I’ve tried. If you want Italian seasoning blend to sprinkle on pizzas and bread, leave the salt out of this recipe and double the herbs.

The measuring spoons came from Anthropologie. I think I’ve seem similar things at Pier One.

I made up a batch of both of these for teacher gifts this year. I even happened to have the very same jars. LOL They look fantastic and my kitchen smells like an Italian bakery. (That’s a good thing!)
I love these mixes….and the jars……but I especially love the short round measuring spoon! Where can I get them? My mother has been wanting some without the long handles!
Thanks for sharing!!

I love this, Tiffany. I am totally pinning it. 🙂
Thanks, Crystal!
Great idea. I pinned it!
These are great! We usually gifts in a jar on the sweet side (cookie or brownie mixes, etc) But these savory ones are perfect for those who don’t really bake. Plus, since they’re spices, they can be used in lots of cooking.
Thanks for sharing…oh, and I have to agree, those jars are super cute 😀
Great idea but I too would like to know the source for those cute jars!
Thanks!
Kathy, the jars came from Walmart.
Love the recipes and the jars…where did you find those?
Adrienne, the jars came from Walmart. It was the last box though, so I don’t know if it was a seasonal item or not.
I found those exact jars at our local True Value hardware store.
There’s also a 4oz version which I might use instead. The 1/2 pint seems like a lot of salt! I plan to make 4 or 5 different kinds and give them as sets.
The jars are too cute! Makes me want to make the mix just to be able to buy those cute jars!!
I was thinking the same thing about those cute jars!
Great idea and I love those jars !
