Wow! I didn’t realize how easy it is to make homemade garlic salt from fresh garlic cloves. I’ve been growing elephant garlic in my garden and I can’t wait to give this a try.
It is easy to make this homemade garlic salt recipe and is very versatile. Sometimes I add a few tablespoons of Parmesan cheese to mine. The mixture can be stored in airtight containers or shakers for up to six months (without the parmesan cheese).
I like using different herbs and spices in mine, as well as adding some smoked paprika for an extra depth of flavor. Not only is it more cost effective than buying pre-made garlic salt, but it also allows me to experiment with different flavors and textures.
I love this blog post about making your own garlic salt! I’m a huge fan of cooking with fresh ingredients and this is the perfect way to add a lot of flavor to dishes. Not only is it easy and inexpensive to make, but you can also be sure that it’s free of preservatives and artificial flavors. Plus, you can adjust the amount of garlic and salt used to create the exact flavor you want – adding more or less depending on your preferences. Additionally, homemade garlic salt will last longer than store-bought because the high levels of salt act as a natural preservative. I highly recommend giving it a try!
This is a great post! Making your own garlic salt is a great way to add delicious flavor to your favorite recipes and dishes. Plus, it’s so easy to make! I love that you’ve included the ingredients and instructions in such detailed steps. It makes it easy for anyone to follow along.
I also appreciate that you mention how garlic salt can be used in so many different ways, like enhancing the flavor of meats, veggies, soups, sauces and more. Not only that but it’s also an economical way of adding extra flavor – you’ll get more bang for your buck than purchasing pre-made prepared garlic salt from the store.
Garlic salt has some health benefits too. Garlic is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties which can help fight certain illnesses. Plus, it can help boost your immune system, reduce cholesterol levels and even reduce blood pressure. All these benefits make it worth the effort of making your own garlic salt at home!
This is a great idea! Making your own garlic salt is a great way to add flavor to any dish without having to buy pre-made blends. Not only that, but it’s also healthier because you’re able to control the ingredients and amount of salt used. Plus, you can customize it however you’d like by adjusting the ratio of garlic to salt or adding herbs and spices.
I especially love using fresh garlic instead of the pre-minced type, as this really brings out a more intense flavor. Another tip – let the mixture sit for several hours after mixing before using it so that all the flavors have time to infuse and mix together. All in all, making your own garlic salt is great way to get creative with your cooking while keeping it healthy and flavorful!
