The standard collective noun for 'salt' is a lot of salt(perhaps a Biblical reference?).

Because there is no specific collective noun for salt that we commonly use, the context of your sentence would determine the collective noun to use; for example: a pinch, a box, a shaker, a cup, etc.

The noun 'salt' is an uncountable (mass) noun and the nouns used for units of an uncountable noun (pinch, box, cup, etc.) are actually called partitive nouns.
