Homemade Pink Salt

This pink salt is made by blending natural mineral-rich salts to produce a vibrant, visually appealing seasoning. The process involves drying the salts and then pulsing them into a fine or coarse texture, resulting in a colorful, mineral-infused salt that adds flavor and aesthetic appeal to dishes.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Himalayan pink salt or mineral salt blend preferably coarse
  • optional dried rose petals or beetroot powder for color enhancement

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Food processor or mortar and pestle

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°F (90°C). Spread the salt evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the salt is slightly dried and aromatic, but not toasted. Remove from oven and let it cool completely.
  2. Once cooled, transfer the salt to a food processor or mortar and pestle. Pulse or grind until the salt reaches your desired grain size—fine or coarse.
  3. If desired, add dried rose petals or a pinch of beetroot powder to the salt for vibrant color. Pulse a few more times to evenly distribute.
  4. Transfer the finished pink salt to a clean jar or container. Store in a cool, dry place and use as a colorful seasoning for salads, roasted vegetables, or marinades.
