Spiced Salt For Bri
Earlier this year we dined at Harrisons in Port Douglas.On each table was placed a sweet little mortar and pestle containing a spiced salt. I've been intending to make my own spiced salts ever since.
Last week Jaden at Steamy Kitchen did a post on Asian flavoured salts. It was enough to kick me into action and make some spiced salts for our table.
I wanted to find a way to get more of the cancer fighting food turmeric into my diet. I also wanted to support the initative of Jugalbandi and their photographic CLICK event in support of Figs With Bri. Bri is currently undergoing treatment for cancer. Bee and Jai at Jugalbandi have organised a fund raiser to help Bri and her family with medical expenses. They chose the colour yellow for the photography event as it is the colour associated with cancer. Remember LiveSTRONG Day and the fabulous array of yellow food.
I chose a traffic light set for our table.
Red - Maldon salt and sweet hot paprika
Green - Maldon salt and matcha powder
Yellow - Maldon salt andturmeric powder

....and help Bri by entering your own yellow food photo.
All these flavored salts look good! Got to try these :)

Your salts look beautiful! I make matcha salt and curry salt a lot to cook with and give as gifts but the paprika and tumeric are great flavor ideas.
