Equipment

  • food processor
  • mixing bowl
  • parchment paper
  • oven
  • airtight container, glass jar
  • zester

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup kosher salt or any coarse salt you prefer
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill finely chopped (you can also use dried dill, about 2 tablespoons)
  • Zest of 1 lemon optional, for extra zing

Instructions
 

  • Place the salt, chopped dill, and lemon zest (if using) into a food processor.
  • Pulse until the mixture forms a paste and the dill is finely incorporated into the salt.
  • Spread the paste in a thin, even layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Let it air dry for a few hours, or use the oven method for faster results.
  • Preheat your oven to the lowest temperature setting (around 170°F or 75°C). Place the baking sheet in the oven and let it dry for about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Keep the oven door slightly ajar to allow moisture to escape.
  • Stir the mixture occasionally to ensure even drying.
  • Once completely dry, the mixture might form clumps. Break them up using your fingers or by pulsing briefly in the food processor again to achieve a uniform texture.
  • Transfer the dried dill salt to an airtight container. Store it in a cool, dry place.

Notes

Dry the dill thoroughly - if using fresh dill, make sure it’s completely dry before chopping or blending.
Even layer for drying - when drying the dill salt mixture, spread it out in a thin, even layer on the baking sheet.
Avoid over-blending - if using a food processor, pulse the mixture just enough to combine the ingredients into a paste
Stir during drying - stir the mixture occasionally while drying to ensure even moisture removal and to break up any clumps that might form.
