Dry Rub Recipes Herbed Salt Mix Dry Brine call it what you will, it keeps meat juicy & tender on the grill, adding lots of spicy flavor w/o extra calories. A Dry Brine is a meat or vegetable dry rub with salt added. It usually contains sugar or another sweetener that caramelizes during grilling to form a crust on the outside of the meat. Grill masters call this the “bark”. A Dry Rub is a salt-free and sugar-free mix of dried herbs and spices.

INGREDIENTS – please use organic ingredients

• Fresh Herbs
• Himalayan Salt, coarsely ground
• OR
• Celtic Sea Salt, coarsely ground
• Optional – add a variety of your favorite dried spices, for a smoky flavor try adding smoked paprika
• Optional – to make a hot and spicy rub add red pepper flakes, *see note

DIRECTIONS – use a variety of fresh herbs to create herbed salt as a base for your meat and vegetable rubs. In a food processor or blender, mix one bunch of washed and dried, fresh herbs and salt until herbs are ground down into coarse salt. If herbs have woody stem, remove leaves and discard stems before using. Dry on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. To speed drying place in oven set to warm. Keep temperature below 108ºF to preserve benefits of fresh herbs. Store leftover salt rub or dry brine in glass mason jar with lid or other airtight container.
