Note

For a finer texture, you can pulse the mixture briefly in a spice grinder or blender before storing.

This blend makes a great gift. Package in small jars with a recipe card for ideas on how to use it.

While this is a salt substitute, you can add a small amount of sea salt or Himalayan pink salt if desired, though the recipe is designed to be sodium-free.

Use this blend to season roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, soups, stews, and salad dressings. Start with 1/2 teaspoon and adjust to taste.

For best flavor, use dried herbs that are relatively fresh (within 6-12 months of purchase) to ensure potency.
