Smoked Garlic Salt with Garden Herbs and Smoked Tomatoes

I learned to make herbed salt 

when I was at our pizza oven 

cooking class all the way back 

in 2005.  I was surprised that 

they used sage so much in Italian 

cooking, but then when I looked 

at an Italian herb blend, sage 

was listed as the number one 

ingredient. 

I had lots of fresh herbs from 

the garden this year, so I decided 

to make herbed salt with my 

garden herbs.  I made a batch 

and then I decided I wanted to 

add garlic to it.  Then the next 

batch I decided to try smoking it.  

I ended up making ten pounds 

of this for our garden share 

that we had for Relief Society - 

our women's church group. 

Smoked Garlic Salt with Garden Herbs Recipe

1 lb Iodized Sea Salt

(I preferred fine grain salt 

so I could sprinkle it.)

1/3 C. chopped herbs total of

Basil

Sage

Rosemary

Thyme

2 tsp. granulated garlic

(You can omit the garlic 

if you don't want 

garlic salt.)

Mix the above and spread 

it on a sheet pan.  If you don't 

have a smoker, or you prefer 

not to smoke the salt, just leave 

it out on the pan on the counter

and the salt will dry the herbs.  

If you want to smoke the salt, 

prepare your smoker and then 

smoke on low for 2 hours.  

Let it cool. 

Enjoy it on everything. 

The tomato harvest is on!  I 

have a new much bigger garden 

at our new place and it has been 

so fun to have so many flowers 

and herbs and vegetables.

We decided to smoke some 

tri tip for Sunday dinner and 

I thought I would try smoking 

some tomatoes too.  

I just sprinkled olive oil and 

my homemade garden herb 

salt and smoked them for 

about 40 minutes.  They were 

so amazing. 

I have to admit they were best 

hot off the smoker.  But I feel like 

that about most foods.  

Beaulah loves tomatoes too!

Look at that huge heart shaped 

tomato.  It is called 

LOVE GOURMANSUN! 

These are astounding and 

a real producer!

I found it at Cook's this year, 

one of our local nurseries.  

It is so fun because I live 

next to my daughter and 

two houses away is my 

DIL and we all are gardening 

and sharing.

Here is my Love tomato 

and my salt on a 

caprese board.  

I love these tomatoes.  

They are heart shaped 

and then there is a 

streak of red going down 

the middle. 

Happy gardening!
