Friday's Food Tip: Switch to Herbal Seasonings

Tired of seasoning your food with the same old salt and pepper? Then switch to some herbal seasonings and see how they boost the flavor of meats, veggies, pastas, and casseroles.

The following salt substitutes are from the book, BRILLIANT FOOD TIPS AND COOKING TRICKS, by David Joachim.

Simply combine the following ingredients for each blend.



MIXED HERB BLEND

2 Tbsp. dried parsley

1 Tbsp. dried tarragon

2 tsp. dried oregano

2 tsp. dried celery flakes


LEMON-PEPPER BLEND

1 Tbsp. store-bought dried lemon peel

1 Tbsp. garlic powder

2 tsp. dried oregano

1/2 tsp. ground white pepper


ITALIAN BLEND

1 Tbsp. dried basil

1 Tbsp. dried marjoram

2 tsp. garlic powder

2 tsp. oregano

1 tsp. crushed dried rosemary

1/4 tsp. dried thyme

1/4 tsp. ground red pepper


Enjoy!
