Copycat Mrs. Dash Salt-Free Seasoning
Description
A 5-minute, salt-free, all-purpose blend that clones the bright, citrusy flavor of the original. No sodium, no fillers — just herbs, spices, and a touch of lemon tang.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried savory
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon dry mustard powder
- ½ teaspoon dried orange peel, or ¼ tsp dried fresh orange zest
- ¼ teaspoon celery seed
- ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
- ¼ teaspoon ground bay leaf, or 1 bay leaf, crushed fine
- For brightness: ½ teaspoon citric acid or 1 teaspoon finely grated dried lemon zest
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a small bowl.
- As you stir, crush the rosemary, thyme, and bay against the side of the bowl — or pulse the whole mix once or twice in a clean spice grinder — for a fine, even texture.
- Stir in the citric acid or dried lemon zest and mix well. This citrus note is what makes it taste like the original.
- Taste and adjust: more cayenne for heat, more citric acid for tang, or more onion and garlic powder for depth.
- Transfer to a clean, bone-dry shaker or jar with a tight lid. Store in a cool, dark place and use within 6 months for best flavor.
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
