HOMEMADE MEDITERRANEAN SPICE BLEND RECIPE
WHAT IS A MEDITERRANEAN SPICE BLEND?
Mediterranean spice mix recipes use dried herbs and spices that are commonly found in the Mediterranean region. You can use it much like Italian Seasoning, and Pizza Seasoning. It is great for sprinkling on grilled fish, and grilled meats, and adding to soups. I would not recommend using it as a dry rub.
WHAT DOES THIS MEDITERRANEAN SEASONING TASTE LIKE?
Mediterranean seasoning has tons of herbaceous and savory flavors. The parsley and basil add a fresh kick, and the salt and garlic give the blend some depth so the seasoning flavors don’t disappear when cooking.

CAN YOU MAKE MEDITERRANEAN SEASONING MIX AHEAD OF TIME?
Absolutely! I like to have a jar of this Mediterranean seasoning and all sorts of homemade spices on hand for whenever the craving strikes.
As a rule of thumb, when making spice blends: the earliest expiration date on your ingredients is now the new expiration date for your homemade herb and spice blend.
