Morphology
The meaning 'salt used for seasoning food' is directly and compositionally derived from 'table' (used attributively to mean 'for use at the dining table/for eating') plus 'salt' (a seasoning). This attributive pattern is common and cross-linguistically predictable, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Table salt comes from the picture of a small container of salt kept on the table for eating. So it means the common white salt you use to 'season' food.
