Notes
- Greek seasoning a blend of Mediterranean flavors, and can include oregano, garlic, salt, pepper, onion, marjoram. Sometimes it will include lemon, dill, thyme and even cinnamon! I buy a blend from the spice aisle at my grocery store, but you can make your own.
- This Greek Seasoning is one of the ones I like. It is not the one in a round can found in some places.
