05 - Sprinkle generously over grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or potatoes for an instant burst of classic tzatziki flavor.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes exactly ten minutes from thought to finished jar and requires zero cooking skill whatsoever.
  • You will find yourself shaking it onto everything from scrambled eggs to roasted potatoes without thinking twice.
02 -
  • Dried herbs lose potency over time so if your jar has been sitting for more than six months, give it a sniff test and increase the amount you use accordingly.
  • Citric acid is much stronger than dried lemon zest so use half the amount if substituting and adjust upward to taste.
03 -
  • Toast the dried herbs in a dry skillet for thirty seconds before mixing to wake up their essential oils and deepen the flavor dramatically.
  • Blend a tablespoon of this mix with olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon for a marinade that works on almost anything.
