Pink Salt Trick Recipe

A quick and flavorful kitchen hack using Himalayan pink salt to enhance your everyday dishes. This trick brings out the natural flavors of veggies and proteins while supporting a clean, healthy diet with a touch of gourmet flair.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tsp Himalayan pink salt (coarse or fine grind)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions

  • Mix the Base:
    In a small bowl, combine pink salt, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and lemon zest.
  • Add Oil:
    Pour olive oil over the mixture and stir to form a thick seasoning paste.
  • Apply to Food:
    Use the paste to season vegetables, chicken, or fish before cooking. For vegetables, toss them in the mix until well coated.
  • Cook:
    Grill, roast, or bake your chosen food using your preferred method (e.g., roasting vegetables at 400°F for 25–30 minutes).
  • Finish with Freshness:
    After cooking, garnish with fresh parsley. Add an extra sprinkle of pink salt if desired.

Notes

  • For best results, apply the seasoning paste at least 10 minutes before cooking to let the flavors infuse.
  • Works beautifully with root vegetables, zucchini, cauliflower, and even tofu.
  • Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
