On the last cool, crisp nights of spring, this herbaceous, carrot-laced herb salt will comfort you with the freshness and purposefulness of the season. Five distinct varieties of thyme contribute their unique elements of sweet, savory, bitter, salty, and umami earthiness. Fresh, grassy parsley and bright hyssop elevate the freshness, while sharp, peppery primrose and germander engulf tiny, dried carrot flecks. Seasoned with lemony sumac, smoked paprika, and tangy bitter zests, it’s bold, woody, and earthy, capable of holding its own in the roasting rituals of spring vegetables, foraged mushroom cooking as well as heartier spring salads and bean dishes.
