Introduction

Greek seasoning is a fragrant blend of herbs and spices that brings the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean to your kitchen. It’s perfect for seasoning meats, vegetables, or even sprinkling on salads for an extra burst of flavor.

A white bowl sits on a white marbled surface, filled with eight different piles of dried herbs and spices arranged in a circle without mixing. Starting from the top and moving clockwise, there is a dark green, finely chopped herb, followed by a light orange powder, a white powder, a coarse black and white mix resembling pepper, a pile of white salt, yellowish-green oregano leaves, short dried rosemary sticks, and in the center, a small pile of reddish-brown spice powder. The spices have different textures from leafy to powdery, and the surrounding area has scattered small herb pieces. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use fresh herbs instead of dried for this seasoning?

Fresh herbs can be used but will alter the texture and moisture of the blend. It’s best to use dried herbs for a consistent, long-lasting seasoning mix.

How can I use this Greek seasoning in cooking?

This seasoning works well rubbed onto meats like chicken or lamb, sprinkled on roasted vegetables, mixed into salad dressings, or added to dips and sauces for a Mediterranean flavor boost.
