Ingredients

If you’ve ever wondered what’s in Greek seasoning that makes it taste so good, this is it!

Substitutions

Dried lemon peel adds a touch of bright citrus flavor to the blend without adding any bitterness. It’s an optional ingredient, though, so feel free to omit it. You could always just add a splash of fresh lemon juice to your dishes, too.

If you don’t have Greek oregano, you can substitute with Marjoram, because the flavor is very similar. Marjoram is slightly milder than oregano, so you’ll want to add tiny bit more.

How to Make Greek Seasoning

Making this homemade seasoning blends is beyond simple Simply measure the spices and mix them together to a small dish or jar.

Use a spoon to mix it well and it’ll be ready to use!

How to Store Homemade Spice Blends

Whether you make this Greek seasoning recipe or another spice blend, like my air fryer dry rub, the storage is pretty much the same.

Simply transfer the spice mix to a glass mason jar or another airtight spice container. Cover tightly and store at room temperature in a cool, dry place that's out of direct sunlight.

For the best flavor, use it within six months. This is a good rule of thumb for any herb or spice on your rack — they eventually lose their flavor. It's a good idea to label the jar with a date to replace them.
