Kayla is a self-taught home cook and baker. Growing up with her grandparents, she would spend hours in front of the TV watching the Food Network. She and her grandmother would mold play-dough into different fruits and vegetables while watching cooking shows and have contests to see who made the most realistic dish. Eventually, Kayla moved on from play-dough and began to work with real food. On her blog, enrootkitchen.com, you’ll find recipes made from scratch for the home cook and baker ranging from all skill levels! She also showcases these dishes on her Instagram: @enrootkitchen.

directions
Run the lime wedge along the rim of your cup and dip each rim into the fine grain Himalayan salt. Then, add ice to each glass.

Strain your margaritas into the prepared glasses, garnish with a lime wheel, and enjoy!
tips
Try to use a high-quality tequila for this recipe! If you’re using a cheap tequila, you may need to add 1 oz simple syrup to help balance the flavors.
Himalayan salt has a strong, salty flavor and a slight mineral aroma. This version is fine grain and ready to use in cooking or as a table salt replacement.
