→ Herbs & Aromatics
01 - 3 tablespoons dried dill
02 - 2 tablespoons dried mint
03 - 2 tablespoons dried parsley
04 - 1 tablespoon dried chives
05 - 1 tablespoon garlic granules

10 - ½ teaspoon dried cucumber powder (optional)
# Directions:
01 - In a medium mixing bowl, add the dried dill, mint, parsley, chives, garlic granules, onion powder, sea salt, black pepper, dried lemon zest (or citric acid), and cucumber powder if using.
02 - Whisk all the ingredients together vigorously until the seasonings are evenly distributed and no clumps remain.
03 - Transfer the finished blend to an airtight container or spice jar with a tight-fitting lid. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight for up to 6 months.

# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- You will never buy those overpriced seasoning packets again once you realize how simple this is to throw together.
- It turns plain yogurt into something genuinely exciting in about thirty seconds flat.
02 -
- Damp spoons are the enemy here because any moisture introduced into the jar will cause clumping and reduce shelf life.
- The flavor deepens noticeably after twenty four hours of resting so try to resist using it immediately if you can wait.
03 -
- Double or triple the batch because these make wonderful gifts tucked into a small jar with a handwritten label.
- Taste the blend by mixing a small pinch into a spoonful of plain yogurt, since the dry flavor alone will not tell you the full story.
