Make a double batch if you cook Greek-inspired dishes often.
Label the jar with the blend’s name and date for easy use.
Don’t skip tasting the blend to make sure it fits your preferences.

Variations and Customizations

Mix in a bit of ground coriander for citrusy undertones. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. Include a touch of lavender for a French twist (essentially transforming it into an herbes de Provence blend). If you’re salt-conscious, leave the salt out completely and season your dishes individually while cooking.

Nutritional Information

This Greek Seasoning Blend is practically calorie-free, making it a great way to add flavor without adding any major macros. Per teaspoon, it typically has fewer than 5 calories, negligible carbs, and virtually no fat. Since it’s a mix of dry herbs and spices, it’s low in sodium unless you add a large amount of salt. It’s also naturally suitable for most diets—gluten-free, vegan, keto, and more—with no allergens unless someone has an unusual sensitivity to specific spices.

Storage and Reheating Instructions

Store your Greek Seasoning Blend in an airtight container, preferably a small glass jar, and keep it in a cool, dark place like a pantry or spice rack. Avoid storing it near heat or moisture (so probably not right above the stove!). This blend can stay fresh and aromatic for up to 6 months. Since it’s a dry mix, there’s no reheating involved—just grab, sprinkle, and enjoy.
