I really like these new pepper mixes that come ready in their own table sized grinder. Just recently I noticed a salt blend, which I of course snapped up and placed it in my cart. As I shopped I was quietly thinking about what I was going to use it on.

Asparagus was in, and looked quite good with it’s even green coloring and slim stalks of goodness. That night, as I am preparing my vegetables for a hot bath, knowing that the veggies themselves would be the first victim I pried open the bottle ready to dispense.

Herein lies where I was going with all of this. Here it comes, are you ready? Don’t grind the salt mix directly onto your dish. The dispenser tends to allow the ground salt residue to collect and to occasionally dispense unexpectedly onto whatever dish you were ready to enjoy. I suggest grinding the salt mixture into a small dish or ramekin and then pinch onto your desired dish.
