I am a salt fanatic. Honestly. Truly. and really.

I love salt.

GOOD salt.

There is an incredible difference between the salt found on the table at a typical eatery and the fine flakes of deliciousness we brush across our lives in a bit of savory indulgence.

That said, most salt is savory.

I’m a fan of both savory and a little sweet.

Thus, I’ve created my own little version – Vanilla Salt.

Vanilla Salt

1/2 cup very fine sea salt
2 large vanilla beans

Carefully slice the vanilla bean down the center and scrape the wonderful and precious center from the pod using a flat knife or small spoon. In an airtight container, combine the salt and vanilla together and shake or stir. Allow the flavors to mix for a least one week, shaking every so often to prevent any clumping.

Enjoy.

Some of my favorite ways to include vanilla salt in my kitchen creations are:

Hibiscus Peppercorn Dusted Delicata

Chicken Royale 

Japanese Sweet Potato and Vanilla Sausage Crumble

Coconut Cardamom Shrimp

…and my newest indulgence…

 Coconut Almond Milk Cappuccino topped with lick your lips delicious Vanilla Salt – again…can’t wait to see you there! (great with a London Fog too!)
