One salt that hasn't been brought up is Indian black salt. काला नमक. That Hindi text is "kala namak" meaning simply black salt. (Just want to see if Hindi text will work here). It has just a touch of sulfur salts in it and has a distinct flavor that you don't want in a salad, but is really good with certain Indian dishes.

Hi OregonYeti,

Is Kala namak a mined salt or evaporated sea salt?

I don't know, but I assume it's mined, since sea salt is pretty similar around the world.
