Salt and Vinegar Seasoning Recipe by Gneiss Spice
Not just for potato chips anymore.
In the past two weeks we’ve sold more of this seasoning than in all of last year. What’s behind the frenzy? We asked on IG and TikTok—and here’s what you told us:
- Kale chips, carrot chips, and popcorn are going viral with a salt & vinegar twist.
- Meghan Markle made homemade potato chips on her Netflix show.
- Wingstop released it as a wing flavor (and now salt & vinegar wings are everywhere).
- Pickles!
- Football season = tailgating food, fries, and snack boards calling for that tangy kick.
- And of course, there’s the simple joy of finding out vinegar powder exists.
No matter what sparked this trend, you clearly agree: salt & vinegar isn’t just for potato chips anymore. Customers are sprinkling it on cucumbers, roasted veggies, pork tenderloin, even in cocktails (yep—someone spotted a salt & vinegar martini).
Salt & Vinegar Seasoning Recipe
INGREDIENTS:
- 1/4 cup vinegar powder
- 1/4 cup flaky sea salt
- 1/2 tsp dill
- 1/2 tsp parsley
Tip: Our kosher flake salt is similar density to Diamond Kosher. If using table salt, halve the amount.
DIRECTIONS:
Mix everything in a bowl. The recipe makes a heaping 1/2 cup, enough to fill a large Gneiss Spice jar.
PERSONALIZE IT:
- Smoked Paprika: 1 tsp adds smoky depth, delicious on roasted potatoes or wings.
- Celery Seed: ½ tsp brings a pickled vibe, great for cucumber chips or dressings.
- Mustard Powder: 1 tsp sharpens the tang, ideal for fries or coleslaw.
- Cayenne or Chili Flakes: ½ tsp adds heat, perfect for popcorn or kale chips.
- Sumac: 1 tsp layers on a lemony sourness, great on veggies or salads. Garlic Powder: 1 tsp boosts savoriness, tasty on chicken or roasted veggies.
