Salt's outputters operate on a per-minion basis. Each minion return will be output as a single JSON object once it comes in to the master.
Some JSON parsers can guess when an object ends and a new one begins but many can not. A good way to differentiate between each minion return is to use the single-line output format and to parse each line individually. Example output (truncated):
{"dave": {"en0": {"hwaddr": "02:b0:26:32:4c:69", ...}}}
{"jerry": {"en0": {"hwaddr": "02:26:ab:0d:b9:0d", ...}}}
{"kevin": {"en0": {"hwaddr": "02:6d:7f:ce:9f:ee", ...}}}
{"mike": {"en0": {"hwaddr": "02:48:a2:4b:70:a0", ...}}}
{"phill": {"en0": {"hwaddr": "02:1d:cc:a2:33:55", ...}}}
{"stuart": {"en0": {"hwaddr": "02:9a:e0:ea:9e:3c", ...}}}
