Yes, but in some sense you boil the water out of the salt!
By boiling the water, the water turns to steam and rising, but the salt does not, and so it stays behind. If you have a way to collect the steam and turn it back into water, you will have pure water! This is called distillation.
You can do the same thing just using evaporation. If you have water that is evaporating, but put a cool object nearby where the water can recondense, and then you collect the condensed water, the collected water will have no salt in it.
They even sell solar stills to do this. See the Web Link to left for more about this.

Add salt to water and get pure water back?
you should distille the water ( heat the water so it evaporates and let it condensate into a cup or a mirror)

How do you purify rock salt to get pure crystal salt?
rock salt is actually salt and not any type of rock. large size salt crystals are reffered to as rock salt because it is hard like rocks. its actually jsut large salt crystals. if you are looking to purify your salt you could always heat a pot of water and disolve the rock salt in it. once no more salt will desolve you can decant the salt water (poor the clear liguid off leaving behind the other stuff) into another pot leaving behind the impurities. then boil the salt water to evaporate the water leaving behind the pure salt crystals. Actually, the way to do it is. First mix the rock salt with water. The salt will dissolve and the rocks will stay. Filter it and the salt water will go through. Evaporate it and the salt will be left.
