Zesty dehydrated tzatziki seasoning—dill, mint, garlic, chives and lemon for stirring into yogurt or sprinkling on grilled vegetables.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Herbs & Aromatics

01 - 3 tablespoons dried dill
02 - 2 tablespoons dried mint
03 - 2 tablespoons dried parsley
04 - 1 tablespoon dried chives
05 - 1 tablespoon garlic granules
06 - 1 tablespoon onion powder

→ Spices & Seasonings

07 - 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
08 - 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
09 - 1 teaspoon dried lemon zest or citric acid
10 - 1/2 teaspoon dried cucumber powder (optional, for authentic tzatziki flavor)

# Steps:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, add all dried herbs, garlic granules, onion powder, salt, pepper, lemon zest (or citric acid), and cucumber powder if using.
02 - Whisk all ingredients together until the seasoning is evenly distributed and no clumps remain.
03 - Transfer the blended mix to an airtight container or spice jar. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
04 - Stir 1 to 2 tablespoons into Greek yogurt or sour cream with a splash of olive oil for instant tzatziki-style dip, or sprinkle directly over grilled vegetables, chicken, or seafood.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You can whip up tzatziki flavored dip in thirty seconds with just yogurt and this blend, no cucumber grating or garlic pressing required.
  • It doubles as a dry rub for grilled chicken and a secret weapon sprinkled over roasted potatoes, so one jar does the work of five different seasonings.
02 -
  • Old dried herbs taste like nothing, so sniff every jar before you start and replace anything that has gone flat.
  • Homemade blends settle and compress over time, so give the jar a good shake before each use to redistribute the flavors evenly.
03 -
  • Pulse the whole blend in a clean coffee grinder for five seconds if you want a finer texture that blends seamlessly into smooth dips and dressings.
  • Toast the dried herbs in a dry skillet for thirty seconds before mixing to wake up their essential oils and deepen the overall flavor dramatically.
