Measurements and full details are provided in the recipe card below.

Tips & Tricks
- Use fresh, unexpired dried spices. Old spices lose potency and flavor.
- Adjust salt to taste. Reduce salt if monitoring sodium intake.
- Substitute kosher salt with Himalayan sea salt if preferred, keeping quantities similar by volume.
Stored in an airtight container and made with dried herbs, the blend can retain good flavor for up to about 3 years, though potency will gradually decline. For best flavor, use within 12–18 months.
Store it in an airtight container such as a mason jar or a sealed spice jar, kept in a cool, dark place away from heat and light.
Common Greek herbs and spices include oregano, allspice, dill, mint, parsley, marjoram, and thyme.
