Here’s how to make Greek seasoning! This tasty homemade mix features Mediterranean herbs like oregano and dill, perfect for vegetables, fish, dips and more.
Want a seasoning blend that captures the magic of the Mediterranean? Try Greek seasoning, a mix of spices that’s simple but full of flavor! There are lots of store-bought seasoning blends out there, but homemade skips any additives and preservatives and you can customize the salt content to your liking.
The first time Alex and I tried this seasoning, we were blown away! We like it even better than Italian seasoning: it great sprinkled on shrimp, fish, vegetables, and dips. This recipe is part of our DIY Seasoning Blend Series, where we show you how to make seasoning blends from scratch!
Ingredients in Greek seasoning
There’s no official definition of something like Greek seasoning, versus more standardized blends like Old Bay or even taco seasoning. There’s no such thing as Greek seasoning in Greece: it’s a spice blend that was created as a convenience for cooks to quickly add Mediterranean flair to dishes. Mixes you’ll find at the store contain herbs that are common in Greek cuisine, like oregano and dill.
For this recipe, we wanted to stay very simple, using ingredients you likely already have in your pantry. After trying this seasoning blend on grilled vegetables, we were hooked! Mix together the following herbs:
- Dried oregano
- Dried dill
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Salt and black pepper
Storage information
You can store your homemade Greek seasoning mix in an airtight container for 6 months to 1 year. Of course, it’s best when it’s the freshest! Spices last in a cool, dry place for 8 months to 1 year. You can use this spice blend to add new life to spices that you’ve had for a while.
Ways to use Greek seasoning
Greek seasoning is a great way to liven up roasted or grilled veggies, fish, or even make into dips or spreads. Here are a few ideas for where to start:
- Grilled vegetables: Sprinkle it on grilled broccoli, grilled peppers, or grilled mushrooms.
- Greek dip: Mix it into Greek yogurt, to taste, and serve with flatbread or veggies. Or just sprinkle it onto olive oil and use as bread dip.
- Roasted veggies: Shake it onto roasted broccoli, roasted cauliflower or roasted eggplant are fantastic with a shake or two.
- Sauteed veggies: These sauteed carrots or sauteed asparagus also love Greek seasoning.
- Burgers: Add it to grilled portobello burgers, veggie burgers, or any favorite burger recipe.
- Shrimp: A sprinkle on grilled shrimp, baked shrimp, or sauteed shrimp is perfection.
- Salmon: Try baked salmon or pan seared salmon, plus a sprinkle and a squeeze of lemon.
- Baked potatoes: Add new life to a baked potato.
- Fries: It’s perfect on baked fries.
- Salad dressing: Try our Italian dressing or Greek salad dressing and mix in Greek seasoning to taste.
