A tangy Greek-inspired spice blend perfect for grilled meats, veggies, or mixing into yogurt for instant tzatziki flavor.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Dried Herbs & Spices
01 - 2 tbsp dried dill
02 - 2 tbsp dried parsley
03 - 1 tbsp dried mint
04 - 1 tbsp garlic powder
05 - 1 tbsp onion powder
06 - 1 tsp ground black pepper

→ Flavor Enhancers
08 - 2 tsp dried lemon zest or citric acid
09 - 1 tsp dried chive (optional)
# Directions:
01 - In a small mixing bowl, combine all dried herbs, spices, and flavor enhancers. Stir thoroughly until evenly blended.
02 - Transfer the mixture to an airtight jar or spice container. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
03 - To use as a dip, mix 1–2 tablespoons of seasoning with 1 cup of Greek yogurt and a splash of olive oil. Stir well and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
04 - Sprinkle over grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or potatoes for a quick tzatziki flavor boost.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- It takes literally ten minutes and costs a fraction of store bought seasoning blends.
- You will find yourself reaching for this jar on practically everything from eggs to popcorn to grilled halloumi.
02 -
- Moisture is the enemy of this blend, so never shake the jar directly over steaming food or stick a wet spoon inside.
- Dried herbs lose potency after about six months, so label your jar with the date and make a fresh batch when the smell starts to fade.
03 -
- Toast the dried herbs in a dry skillet for thirty seconds before mixing to wake up their essential oils and deepen the flavor dramatically.
- Always mix the seasoning into yogurt at least ten minutes before serving because the herbs need time to rehydrate slightly and release their full flavor.
