Greek seasoning

Last year, at my office, we had salad club every Thursday.  There was a group of about 8 of us, and when it was your turn for the week, you would bring salad and fixin’s for the group.  Then you could have salad for a few months and not have to bring anything.  We actually took a little hiatus over the summer, and I have to work on getting the group back together.  It was a great time to share a healthy meal, talk about things going on in our lives, and people brought great things.  One of those things, was from my friend Kate, who left our company, but left a jar of Greek Seasoning she brought from home.  It’s getting low, and I was starting to panic, because it tastes great on so many things.  I saw the McCormick brand in the store, but thought I could probably make it myself.  I searched the net, and I think I have found the replacement from www.cooks.com. Greek Seasoning

• 1 tsp. salt
• 2 tsp. dried oregano
• 1 1/2 tsp. onion powder
• 1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 tsp. black pepper
• 1 tsp. dried parsley flakes
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
• 1 tsp. cornstarch
• 1 tsp. beef flavored bouillon granules

Combine all ingredients and keep in an airtight container.  I don’t know about you, but I already had all these seasonings on hand, so it was easy and I didn’t have to go out and buy anything.Uses:

• Salad dressing:  Olive oil, vinegar and Greek seasoning to taste.
• Sprinkle the seasoning on top of your salad.
• Potatoes:  Olive oil, lemon & seasoning to taste.  Bake or grill.
• Fish:  Lemon and seasoning to taste.  Bake or grill.
• Meat/poultry:  Marinate with olive oil, lemon and seasoning. Bake or grill. 
• Vegetables:  Sprinkle with seasoning.  Steam or grill

It’s such a versatile seasoning, once you try it, you will use it all the time, I love it!
