Greek Spice and Dip Herb Blend

This is meant to mix up so it is on hand to change-up the seasoning for your easy week night dinners.

This is a great base for a salad dressing, mixed with sour cream/yogurt for a dip or Mayonaise for an easy sandwich spread.

It is great to season chicken, pork, fish, vegetables, tomato sauces for pastas.

You can make up a batch and easily store the dried herbs in an air tight container or in a zip lock bag with the extra air removed.

INGREDIENTS

Herbs: Thyme, oregano and rosemary (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

(makes about 1/4 cup of seasoning)

• 2 tsp dried Oregano
• 1 tsp dried Mint
• 1/2 tsp dried Thyme (powder or leaves)
• 1 tsp  marjoram (or increase Oregano if you do not have)
• 2 tsp dried minced onion
• 2 tsp dried minced garlic
• 1 tsp dried Parsley
• 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
• 2 tsp dried Basil
• 1 tsp Ground Cumin
• 1/2 TBS Paprika
• 1 tsp dried Dill
• 1 tsp finely chopped dried Rosemary
• 1 tsp fresh Ground black pepper
• 2 tsp Kosher Salt

MIX all in a food process and pulse to combine.  If you don’t have one, that is ok.  The food processor turns this more into a powder which in this case I like better. But it works just fine mixing the ingredients in a bowl.

Good on seafood (salmon), poultry with fresh lemon juice squeezed on during cooking.
