Salt Substitute - Homemade Herb Blend

Want to cut down your salt intake or simple incorporate more spices into your cooking? Whether you buy dried organic herbs or dry your own, this medley of herbs is a great flavor enhancer for savory entrees, veggies, salads and eggs.



It took me five minutes to make this herb blend. I stored it in a clean, empty Spice Island jar I saved for such a time such as this. I used garlic salt, since I love salt and appear to be out of garlic powder right now.

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon each of Garlic Powder and Dry Mustard
2 teaspoon each of the following dried herbs: Parsley, Dill Weed, Savory, Thyme, Onion Powder, Paprika, and Ground White Pepper
1 teaspoon dried Lemon Peel

Directions:

If you have a garden, air-dry your own organic herbs. Be creative. Experiment with other herb and spice recipes that will compliment ethnic dishes, including desserts. Blend the herbs and seal the mixture in an airtight container or vacuum-seal to store or freeze. Homemade herb blends also makes excellent culinary gifts! Be creative. Make your own labels and gift tags.
