Not a parable, its a metaphor that Jesus spoke on the Sermon on the Mount. I think its in Matthew 5 if you want to look it up. I think its about encouraging those who hear his words to go out and make a difference in the world... :)

No, "You are the salt of the earth" is not a parable. It is a statement made by Jesus in The Bible, found in the book of Matthew. Jesus used the metaphor of salt to illustrate the impact that his followers should have on the world by bringing out its best flavors.
