What’s in Seasoned Salt?

What is seasoning salt? Sometimes called seasoned salt, it is a mixture of spices, herbs and salt that has many variations. Lawry’s Seasoning Salt is the most common brand. Here are the ingredients in this seasoned salt recipe, all of which are common in seasoned salt mixes:

  • Kosher salt
  • Black pepper
  • smoked paprika (or substitute regular paprika powder)
  • garlic powder
  • onion powder
  • turmeric

Using smoked paprika brings a slightly smoky flavor that takes it up a notch. Use it if you can find it; it is sometimes referred to as pimentón. Alex and I use smoked paprika in our recipes all the time; It’s especially perfect for vegetarian and vegan recipes to bring in a meaty element. We therefore strongly advise you to invest in a glass!
