Golden Turmeric Salt Mix

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp ground turmeric (the “gold”)
• 1 tbsp sea salt or Himalayan pink salt (adds both flavor and minerals)
• 1 tsp black pepper (helps with turmeric absorption)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
• 1/2 tsp onion powder (optional)
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (for a little heat, optional)
• Zest of 1 lemon (adds a fresh, zesty note)

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients: ground turmeric, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and lemon zest.
2. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. Transfer to an airtight jar and store in a cool, dark place. It will stay fresh for up to 3 months.

How to Use:

• Roasted Vegetables: Toss veggies in olive oil, then sprinkle the Golden Salt Mix before roasting.
• Soups and Stews: Add a teaspoon to soups like your weekly celery soup for extra flavor and health benefits.
• Golden Tea: Stir a pinch into warm milk or a non-dairy alternative for a comforting, golden drink.

This seasoning not only brings a pop of color but also infuses your dishes with the anti-inflammatory benefits of turmeric!
