How do you produce cooking salt from a double displacement reaction?

Could you produce cooking salt from these reagents Na2Co3(s) and HCl (aq) ?

I know that this reaction yields the by-products NaCl(aq) and H20(l) from its ionic equation.
could I evacuate the water from the system then uses the NaCl(s) for cooking or if I were lost in a remote desert to replace my body salt that was lost from sweating?

neutralize HCl acid with NaOH to get NaCl and H20 Then evaporate the water to leave salt crystals
