Some seasonings don’t just flavor your food — they wake it up.
Greens & Citrus Finishing Salt is one of those blends.
It’s fresh, vibrant, and a little bit gourmet, with garden herbs and nutrient-dense greens balanced by sunny citrus zest.
This finishing salt is perfect for roasted vegetables, grilled fish or chicken, salads, and even as a bread dip seasoning.
And because it’s a “sprinkle at the table” seasoning, you’ll see (and taste) the little flecks of green and gold in every bite.
Why a Finishing Salt?
- Texture: Flaky sea salt adds a satisfying crunch.
- Visual appeal: The greens and citrus zest create colorful flecks.
- Fresh flavor: Added at the end, so the citrus oils and herbs stay bright.
- Versatility: Works on everything from roasted potatoes to avocado toast.
Greens & Citrus Finishing Salt Recipe
You’ll need:
- ½ cup flaky sea salt (Maldon, Celtic, or similar)
- 2 tbsp Greens Powder with Citrus Lift (from our last post)
- Optional: extra 1 tsp Citrus Blend Powder for more zest punch
- Optional: ½ tsp garlic powder for savory depth
Step 1 — Keep It Dry
Make sure your greens powder and citrus powder are completely crisp before mixing.
Moisture will make the salt clump.
Step 2 — Mix Gently
- In a small bowl, combine the salt and powders.
- Use a spoon to fold them together, keeping salt flakes as intact as possible for texture.
Step 3 — Store for Maximum Freshness
- Airtight glass jar, stored away from sunlight.
- Best flavor within 4–6 months, though still safe for up to a year.
- For gifting, use a clear jar so the colors show — just be sure to include a “store in a cool, dark place” note.
Ways to Use Greens & Citrus Finishing Salt
- Sprinkle over roasted carrots, asparagus, or green beans.
- Finish grilled fish, shrimp, or chicken.
- Add to sliced tomatoes or cucumbers for a quick salad.
- Dust over popcorn for a gourmet snack.
- Stir into olive oil for dipping bread.
Pro tip: Because this blend is so visually striking, it makes a fantastic farmers market product or food gift.
