HOW do you make your own garlic salt?

Question

I've tried crushing garlic and mixing it with regular salt but it didn't work. Any other ideas?
Thanks.

Answer 1

I believe garlic salt is just garlic powder + salt. To make it from whole garlic you would need to dehydrate the peeled garlic cloves, the crush/grind them into a powder, then finally mix with salt slowly until you get the right mix.

If I'm not using fresh garlic I like to use the McCormick's California Blend garlic powder and then season with salt to taste. I don't represent them McCormick's at all, but here is a link so you know what to look for:

Hope that helps you out.

Answer 2

you should dry or dehydrate the garlic first,
Then crush the garlic and add salt.
Also you can boil the garlic with salt and then allow to dry. I prefer the first way.

Answer 3

take dried garlic flakes (you can get them from the grocery store), ground them up to be powder like and mix with fine salt add a drop or two of vegetable oil so you don't have salt and garlic powder seperating. i saw it on food network with salt and pepper, so it should work the same in garlic. goodluck!

Answer 4

use powdered garlic and salt it works much better than fresh..I would do a 3(garlic) to 1(salt) ratio.

Answer 5

you buy dry garlic and salt from Wal-mart and mix'em up.

But dear friend fresh spices and vegetable has it's own flavor that you wont get from bottled stuff.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Your better off using FRESH Garlic for a richer flavor.

Answer 8
