Salt of the Earth

In which I discover salt that doesn’t come from a blue container with a girl holding an umbrella.

It started here, when a blogger that I read mentioned salted caramels made with Maldon Sea Salt from England. It piqued my curiosity.

And then salt happened to me. A friend of mine changed my life when she showed up at my door with an innocuous little package. A belated Christmas gift of handcrafted artisanal salts: lime fresco, spicy curry, espresso brava, spanish rosemary and vintage merlot.

All I can say is wow. Using this finishing salt to dress vegetables and salads takes flavor to a new level. I’m dreaming of a thick, dark coffee or chocolate drink, topped with foamy Unsweetened Almond Breeze with an espresso brava salted rim, margarita style. Now that’s an adult beverage up my alley.

I had a field trip to Trader Joe’s and stocked up on my salt cellar.

Who needs sugar when we have salt?

What other salts am I missing out on?
