Spread the salt and basil mixture on a tray and let it sit at room temperature for one to two days, stirring occasionally, until the basil is completely dry. Once dry, store it in a tightly sealed container.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you use basil salt for?<\/h3>\n<p>This salt is fantastic for sprinkling on roasted vegetables, grilled meats, pasta or even fresh tomatoes. It adds a herby, salty punch to almost any savory dish.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I use dried basil for this salt?<\/h3>\n<p>While fresh basil gives a brighter flavor, you can use dried basil in a pinch. Just skip the baking step since dried basil doesn&#8217;t need to be dehydrated. Mix it with the salt and store as usual.<\/p>\n<h3>Does this work with other herbs?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes! You can use this same method with rosemary, thyme or even cilantro.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This basil-infused salt adds a touch of herbal brightness to everything from corn on the cob to sliced tomatoes to fresh watermelon. \u2014James Schend, Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7061,"featured_media":2107653,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"ep_exclude_from_search":false},"tags":[304032,303971,304162,305982,304328,305487,304338,306171,303966,304988,304408,304368,303887,304438,304442,304450,324623,306022,304388,303994,304398,304150,303883,305028],"categories-v2":[308623,308500,309439,311717,308984,308481,310796,308992,312036,308495,308935,308813,308745,308478,308844,308845,308857,309177,311755,308752,308528,308797,309434,308476,308974],"coauthors":[341347],"recommended_recipes":[{"post_title":"How to Host a Stress-Free Backyard Barbecue","post_link":"\/article\/how-to-host-backyard-barbecue\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Backyard-Barbecue_GettyImages-2103931463_MLedit.jpg"},{"post_title":"Basil Salmon","post_link":"\/recipes\/basil-salmon\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Basil-Salmon_EXPS_TOHD24_30790_SuzanNajjar_5.jpg"},{"post_title":"Garlic Basil Butter","post_link":"\/recipes\/garlic-basil-butter\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Garlic-Basil-Butter_exps29815_RDS2930098C03_14_5bC_RMS.jpg"},{"post_title":"Basil Garlic Bread","post_link":"\/recipes\/basil-garlic-bread\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/exps10621_RDA10666C69B.jpg"},{"post_title":"Basil Jelly","post_link":"\/recipes\/basil-jelly\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/exps20989_TH10385D41A.jpg"},{"post_title":"Basil Noodles","post_link":"\/recipes\/basil-noodles\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/exps37147_TH1421350D26.jpg"},{"post_title":"Basil Vinegar","post_link":"\/recipes\/basil-vinegar\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Basil-Vinegar_exps14707_FFT2434558F08_08_1bC_RMS.jpg"},{"post_title":"Seasoning Salt","post_link":"\/recipes\/curry-seasoning-mix\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Curry-Seasoning-Mix_EXPS_FT21_23777_F_1015_1.jpg"},{"post_title":"Basil Vinaigrette","post_link":"\/recipes\/basil-vinaigrette\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Basil-Vinaigrette_EXPS_TOHcom24_14550_MD_P2_06_26_1b.jpg"},{"post_title":"Basil Butter","post_link":"\/recipes\/basil-butter\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Basil-Butter_exps3128_SD132778D04_16_7bC_RMS.jpg"},{"post_title":"Tomato Basil Soup","post_link":"\/recipes\/tomato-basil-soup\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/exps27370_LT10505D39D.jpg"},{"post_title":"Herbal Salt Substitute","post_link":"\/recipes\/herbal-salt-substitute\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/exps26647_LT1112529D45A.jpg"},{"post_title":"Rosemary-Lemon Sea Salt","post_link":"\/recipes\/rosemary-lemon-sea-salt\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Rosemary-Lemon-Sea-Salt_EXPS_HMGRDS18_170902_E06_21_4b.jpg"},{"post_title":"Basil Liqueur","post_link":"\/recipes\/basil-liqueur\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Basil-Liqueur_EXPS167757_THCA143053B011_07_2bC_RMS.jpg"},{"post_title":"Basil Spaghetti Sauce","post_link":"\/recipes\/basil-spaghetti-sauce\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/recipeFallback.jpg"},{"post_title":"Sriracha Salt","post_link":"\/recipes\/sriracha-salt\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/0001\/01\/Sriracha-Salt_EXPS_THJJ19_237631_C02_15_4b.jpg"},{"post_title":"Basil-Marinated Fish","post_link":"\/recipes\/basil-marinated-fish\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/exps14708_LT10165C51.jpg"}],"acf":{"long_pin":"https:\/\/tmbidigitalassetsazure.blob.core.windows.net\/rms3-prod\/attachments\/37\/1200x1200\/Basil-Salt_EXPS_TOHD24_237632_JoJoBaccam_4_social.jpg","long_pin_file":false,"ncv_override_generic_settings_option":false,"ncv_autoplay_option":"","ncv_stickyplay_option":"","ncv_ads_option":"","ncv_mute_option":"","ncv_comscore_option":"","ncv_autoplay_mobile_option":"","ncv_viewable_threshold_option":"","ncv_sticky_offset_option":"","ncv_autopause_option":"","ncv_sticky_offset_mobile_option":"","ncv_autopause_mobile_option":"","ncv_sticky_mobile_option":"","ncv_remove_player_option":false,"ncv_moat_option":""},"recipe_schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Recipe","@id":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/basil-salt\/","name":"Basil Salt","datePublished":"2019-05-03","dateModified":"2024-11-02","prepTime":"PT5M","cookTime":"PT30M","totalTime":"PT35M","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Basil-Salt_EXPS_TOHD24_237632_JoJoBaccam_4_social.jpg","height":1200,"width":1200},"recipeCategory":"","description":"Looking for a quick and easy way to add fresh flavor to your meals?
