This recipe makes about 1/2 cup of Greek Seasoning. It should fit in 4-ounce glass jars, mason jars, or other spice containers. If you use a 4-ounce jar (or container), you may need to fill the jar most of the way with the seasoning mix, then gently tap the jar on your counter to remove any air bubbles and to make room for the rest of the seasoning mix.

What is Greek Seasoning

Greek Seasoning is a mix of a variety of dried herbs and spices. It’s used in a wide range of Greek or Greek-inspired dishes. The herbs and spices vary a lot and may contain Greek oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, parsley, dill, marjoram, rosemary, mint, thyme, as well as salt and pepper.

I love a little dried lemon peel in this mix, but you don’t have to add it. You could add other herbs and spices as well to your personal preference such as dill, parsley, rosemary, and/or thyme.
