Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup of your prepared Classic Dill Pickle Salt see above, you’re a pro now
  • 2 tbsp dried minced onion
  • 2 tbsp dried minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp white sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp black sesame seeds or poppy seeds if you’re in a pinch
  • 1 tbsp coarse flake salt for extra texture

Method
 

  1. Make your Classic Dill Pickle Salt first. Let it cool completely—this is non-negotiable unless you want soggy seeds. Nobody wants that.
  2. In your dry skillet over medium-low heat, toast the white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, dried onion, and dried garlic. Stir constantly for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Let this mixture cool too.
  3. In your storage jar, combine the cool pickle salt, the cool toasted seed/onion mix, and the extra flake salt. Put the lid on and shake it like a polaroid picture until everything is beautifully combined.

Notes

Ensure your base pickle salt is COMPLETELY cool before mixing in the toasted seeds and aromatics to prevent sogginess. The toasting step is non-negotiable for maximum flavor.
