The blend of table salt, herbs, spices and other flavorings—sometimes MSG, as in Accent—is used to give zip to the things we love: meat, roasted vegetables, eggs, soups, chips, fast-food. Chefs often concoct their own blends, that they rely on for seasoning dishes. Home cooks are following suit.

I’ve kept Paula Deen’s classic blend by my stove for years. The simple recipe is shown below. I’ve also included a 7-ingredient knock off of Lawry’s Seasoned Salt, that you can make from ingredients you likely have on your spice rack.

Paula Deen’s Seasoned Salt

• 1 cup salt
• 1/4 cup pepper
• 1/4 garlic powder—though I add some onion powder to it as well.

Other DIY Salt Flavorings

It’s easy to make a blend that suit your family’s taste. What’s more, you can put your concoctions in cute little glass jars with labels for your kitchen or for gifts. Below are several salt flavorings that are fun to play with. Other salt blends on the Internet are far more exotic; I leave you to pursue them on your own.

There is one seasoning that I keep on hand, that’s technically not a salt: Penzey’s Sunny Paris. It’s one of their most popular salt-free seasonings. Great for Cornish hens, chicken, eggs, vegetables, and veal. You can sprinkle it over salads, potatoes, or rice, or mix 1 tablespoon with 1 cup yogurt for use as a dip or dressing. The blend is a combination of purple shallots, chives, green peppercorn, dill weed, basil, tarragon, chervil and bay leaf. Can’t go wrong there.

America’s Test Kitchen suggested using a small Krups Fast-Touch Coffee Grinder (about $20 at Macy’s and Amazon) for grinding spices, though they caution not to use it for both coffee and spice grinding, because of the crossover of flavors. But a food processor or blender works well, too.
