Homemade Grinch Salt
Homemade Grinch Salt is a mischievously green finishing salt that turns popcorn, roasted veggies, and snacks into pure holiday giggles. It’s cheap, cheerful, kid-friendly kitchen magic you’ll want to jar up and gift everywhere.
Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon cornstarch keeps things from clumping
- 12 drops green gel food coloring gel works best—bold without watering things down
- 1/4 teaspoon citric acid or lime powder for that Grinchy zing
- 2 teaspoon dill powder Optional for the more dill flavor
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together the salt and cornstarch.
- Add food coloring one drop at a time. Mix with a fork until every grain looks Grinch-level green.
- Spread the salt on a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet. Let dry 20–30 minutes.
- Break up any clumps and funnel it into a cute little jar.
Notes
Up to 1 year in a sealed jar—those tiny green crystals aren’t going anywhere.
