Ingredients You Need
- Onion Powder – Onion powder adds a sweet, savory depth to the blend.
- Garlic Powder – Garlic brings a rich, robust flavor to the table. It complements the herbs beautifully and adds a savory punch to any dish.
- Dried Oregano – Oregano infuses the blend with classic Mediterranean flavor with its undertones of pepper and mint.
- Dried Basil – We love the aromatic flavor of basil — it perfectly balances the other herbs and spices.
- Dried Dill – We include dill for subtle, tangy flavor that brightens up the blend and adds a hint of freshness.
- Dried Thyme – Thyme adds earthy undertones that help to build the complexity of the seasoning.
- Fine Sea Salt – As with nearly any recipe, salt enhances all of the flavors in the blend — it makes each ingredient pop and adds overall balance.
- Freshly Ground Black Pepper – This adds just a touch of heat and another layer of complexity, rounding out the seasoning mix beautifully!

Variations
- Lemon Zest – For a fresh, citrusy twist, add a teaspoon of dried lemon zest to the mix.

Can I Store Leftovers?
Yes, you can store your Greek Seasoning for several months! To keep it fresh and flavorful, transfer the seasoning to an airtight container and store it in a cool, dry place.
