Lawry's Seasoned Salt Blend
What it is
This is a finely ground blend of salt, herbs, and spices. It is designed to enhance the flavor of a wide variety of dishes. The mixture includes ingredients like paprika, turmeric, garlic, and onion, which contribute a savory and slightly aromatic profile. It offers a convenient way to add complex seasoning to food without needing to measure multiple individual spices. The salt base provides the primary seasoning element, while the other components add depth and character.
How people cook with it
This versatile seasoning is a pantry staple for many home cooks. It can be used to season everything from meats to vegetables.
- Sprinkled on roasted chicken
- Mixed into mashed potatoes
- Used as a rub for grilled steaks
- Added to popcorn
You can use this seasoned salt as a direct substitute for plain salt in most recipes. Start by lightly sprinkling it over your food during cooking or just before serving. For meats, it can be applied as a dry rub before grilling, roasting, or pan-searing. It also works well when mixed into marinades or used to season vegetables before they are cooked. A small amount can significantly boost the flavor of soups, stews, and even baked goods. Experiment with different dishes to discover your favorite applications.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain table salt, this blend contains a complex mix of spices and herbs that add layers of flavor beyond just saltiness. It provides a more nuanced taste profile than a single spice or herb alone, offering a balanced savory and aromatic experience.

How to keep the rest
To maintain its freshness and prevent clumping, store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use. This helps preserve the aromatic qualities of the spices within the blend.
