Homemade Seasoned Salt is a recipe I’ve had on my list to try to recreate for several months. What better time than now while we’re thinking about inexpensive gifts!

Homemade Gifts for Less Than $5

What’s fun is that not only did I come up with a very easy and MSG free way to make this seasoing (similar to Lawry’s), I also came up with ideas for delicious ways to use it in new yummy recipes. Now we can mix up some Seasoned Salt for gift purposes, as well as print off cute recipe cards so our recipients will have fun ideas for cooking with their gift. Package it all up together and it will be a hit!

I found the shaker jar for this at Wal-mart for 97¢. I’d look at the dollar store too for fun shaker variations at a low cost. The ingredients cost a minimal amount, making this gift delicious, fun, and inexpensive too!

    I’ve been making your mac and cheese recipe for a while now and always substitute Lawrys for the sea salt. Now I can make my own seasoned salt to use! Thanks for the recipe!

    What is the purpose of the corn starch?

      I am wondering this too as we have a corn allergy in our family. I wonder if it hurts to leave it out. I also would like to leave out the sucanat, I wonder if that would hurt it. I’d hate to change it so much it’s no longer tasty :-)

        Just thought I’d chime in and say I make seasoned salt with almost all these same ingredients, minus the sugar and cornstarch. I guess I never thought to add sweetener. I like it without, so I’d say either way. As for cornstarch, I’m guessing that maybe arrowroot can be used? But I don’t have a problem with shaking the jar and perhaps occasionally stirring it if needed. : )
        Mine also called for dry mustard, but I never thought it made a difference when I left it out! I think I will try adding turmeric this time.

      The cornstarch will keep the other ingredients from caking together – but you can certainly leave it out with no problem.

      As for the sucanat, I add that as the little bit of sweetness brings out the flavor of all the other spices. Leaving it out would be fine though. :)

    Laura ~ This idea is nothing short of BRILLIANT! And I just happen to have a large stock of Redmond’s salt on hand. This will make a perfect gift idea. Thank you also for the lovely recipe cards.

    I love this idea. And I love all your spice mix and seasoning mixes. But I wish you had the seasoned salt recipe on a cute recipe card to attach to the salt.

    I just thought I’d mention that you could alter this very easily to gift an assortment! Instead of regular paprika, make a batch with smoked paprika and label it “Smokey Seasoned Salt” and for someone who like hot things, you could add 1/2 a teaspoon of cayenne and call it “Hot Seasoned Salt”.

    I would love to get a 3-pack of homemade salts for Christmas!

    It was just pointed out to me recently to check the label on my Paprika. A lot of brands contain silicone dioxide which is the same thing that is in the little packets that are in with your shoes that says “do not eat”. YUCK! I found an organic brand that doesn’t use it :)
