This recipe (and all the tips shared) will help you skip the store-bought spice blends and make your own. It is so simple to make and there are no extra additives or msg in this. What you see is what you get. However, if store brought seasonings are your jam for easy cooking then keep with them.

PS I looooove using this homemade seasoning in Easy Greek Rice.

What Is Greek Seasoning

This is an easy-to-whip-up homemade blend that uses a combination of Greek herbs and Greek spices aka ingredients you already own in your spice cupboard. It is very slightly different from Mediterranean seasoning but I use the two interchangeably.

All you need to do is pull out your ingredients, measure out a few tablespoons and mix it all together to end up with a fabulous Greek blend. And it all takes under 5 minutes with no spice grinder insight. #easypeasy right?

Greek Spice Recipe Tips

Here are a few tips to help you make the most of this homemade Greek Spice Seasoning.

• Mix up the salt. You can use pink Himalayan salt (I love this even though not Greek), Kosher salt, or even the regular table variety. BUT you would need to adjust the ratios of the ingredients you use.
• Vary spices. Feel free to add a teaspoon more or less of the ingredients to your taste. Add-ons I have used include paprika and chili flakes. Delish!
• Awesome rub. This makes an awesome rub and works great on meats and fish, which you can then cook up in a skillet, Instant Pot, Air Fryer or oven.
• Blend into a powder. If you prefer you can add all the ingredients into a spice grinder and then blend into a powder.

• Make a big batch. Double or triple the recipe depending on how often you use this.
• Make a paste. Sometimes it is easier to mix the seasoning blend with some oil and make a paste before rubbing on meat, veggies, etc.
• Suitable for various diets. This is suitable for vegan, gluten-free, paleo, low carb, Keto, and Whole30 diets.

How To Use This Seasoning

I use it to flavor almost anything and everything such as:

• A rub for meats and fish – this works great as a Greek chicken rub as well as a rub for lamb, fish, pork, and steak
• Salad dressing – combine with olive oil and vinegar or with yogurt and lemon to make a lovely salad dressing for your food.
• A dip – combine with yogurt and lemon to make a dip.
• A marinade – mix with olive oil and vinegar or lemon as a marinade.
• All the veggies. Sprinkle liberal over vegetables for roasting.
• On the grill – season your kebabs and other meats before you grill them

How Much Seasoning To Use

Guys, you totally want to go easy on the seasoning, so start with less than you think you need and add more to taste. I recommend you start with 1-2 tablespoons of seasoning for a recipe that serves 4 the first time and then adjust up or down to your taste.

Homemade Greek Seasoning Blend Substitute 

Don’t have all the seasoning mix ingredients to hand? Worry not, you got this.

First thing is to see which ingredients you have and then simply use a mix of these to flavor your food. Alternatively, you can scan through your spice cupboard and see what other spice blends you have that you like.

How Long To Store Greek Seasoning?

You can store this for up to 6 months in an airtight spice jar or mason jar for larger quantities. Just make sure you keep it in a cool place out of direct sunlight.

This homemade spice mix can actually last a long time, but it loses its freshness and vibrant flavor as time goes by. I suggest you only make only enough to last you for up to 6 months at any one time. After that simply make a new batch.
