Dehydrated Tzatziki Seasoning Mix (Printable version)

Zesty dehydrated tzatziki seasoning with dill, mint, garlic and lemon zest, ideal for dips, marinades and grilled veg.

# 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)

# Directions:

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

# Expert advice:

01 -
  • You can whip up tzatziki flavored anything in seconds without chopping a single cucumber or squeezing lemons.
  • The blend stays fresh in your pantry for months so you always have Mediterranean flavor ready to go.
  • It transforms plain yogurt hummus roasted veggies and grilled meats with almost zero effort.
02 -
  • Dried herbs lose potency over time so if your dill or mint has been open for more than a year start with fresh jars or the blend will taste flat.
  • Citric acid is much more concentrated than lemon zest so if you substitute it use half the amount and taste before adding more.
03 -
  • Shake the jar vigorously before each use because heavier ingredients like salt settle to the bottom over time.
  • Toasting the garlic granules in a dry pan for thirty seconds before blending adds a nutty sweetness that elevates the whole mix.
