Why This Recipe Works

You can buy jars of seasoning blends at the grocery store, but they’re often dusty, harsh, and overly salty; we prefer to make our own. Salt and pepper are musts, and we chose kosher salt (for its larger grains) and freshly ground black pepper. Dried onion and garlic provide familiar flavor, and a touch of red pepper flakes brings the heat. Dried thyme, basil, and oregano add a Greek flair to this salt blend.

Before You Begin

Store the salt blend for up to six weeks.
