Tangy Greek-inspired seasoning blend with dried herbs, garlic, and lemon zest for instant Mediterranean flavor.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dried Herbs & Spices

01 - 2 tablespoons dried dill
02 - 2 tablespoons dried parsley
03 - 1 tablespoon dried mint
04 - 1 tablespoon garlic powder
05 - 1 tablespoon onion powder
06 - 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
07 - 1 teaspoon sea salt

→ Flavor Enhancers

08 - 2 teaspoons dried lemon zest or citric acid
09 - 1 teaspoon dried chive (optional)

# How-To Steps:

01 - In a small mixing bowl, combine all dried herbs, spices, and flavor enhancers. Stir thoroughly until evenly blended.
02 - Transfer the seasoning blend to an airtight jar or spice container, sealing tightly to preserve freshness.
03 - Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The seasoning will maintain optimal flavor for up to 6 months.
04 - To make tzatziki dip, whisk 1 to 2 tablespoons of the seasoning blend into 1 cup of Greek yogurt with a splash of olive oil. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
05 - Sprinkle generously over grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or potatoes for an instant tzatziki-inspired flavor boost.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • One jar replaces a handful of individual spices every time you want that bright, tangy Greek flavor without the chopping and grating.
  • It transforms a plain cup of Greek yogurt into something guests assume took far more effort than stirring in a spoonful of seasoned powder.
02 -
  • Moisture is the enemy of this blend, so never shake the jar directly over steaming food or dip a wet spoon inside, because even a few drops of steam will clump the entire batch.
  • The flavor deepens noticeably after the first day as the dried herbs mingle and settle, so try to resist using it immediately if you can stand waiting twenty four hours.
03 -
  • Buy your dried herbs from a store with high turnover rather than a dusty back shelf, because fresher dried herbs have exponentially more fragrance and flavor than bottles that have been sitting around for a year.
  • Give the jar a quick shake before each use since heavier particles like salt and garlic powder tend to settle to the bottom over time.
