tips, tricks and questions
Does cinnamon really go into Greek Seasoning?
Yes! It helps add a whole different level to the seasoning mix, although if you find it too weird feel free to leave it out.
Can this seasoning be used in salad dressing?
Absolutely! I actually use it in my Homemade Hummus Dressing Recipe. You could also add it to a vinaigrette as well.
How To Use This Seasoning
- Grilled Meats: Sprinkle Greek seasoning generously over chicken, lamb, or pork before grilling. The aromatic blend infuses the meats with a tantalizing flavor, making each bite a true delight.
- Roast Meats: Seasoning generously for roast chicken, lamb, or pork. Don’t forget a lemon wheel, lemon wedge, or a squeeze of lemon juice for baking to enhance the flavors!
- Roasted Vegetables: Toss your favorite vegetables, such as zucchini, bell peppers, and eggplant, with olive oil and a generous amount of Greek seasoning. Roast them in the oven until tender and slightly caramelized for a healthy and flavorful side dish. Again don’t forget a little squirt of lemon juice after roasting!
- Marinade: Combine Greek seasoning with extra-virgin olive oil, a dash of red wine vinegar, and a squeeze of lemon juice to create a zesty and aromatic marinade. This is great for chicken!
