  • 2 parts basil, parsley, rosemary, oregano and thyme

Mix thoroughly and use in sauces, on breads or meats, or sprinkled on pizzas!


Fish Blend

Combine:

  • 2 parts, parsley, tarragon, dill and ginger

  • 1 part celery salt and paprika

Mix all ingredients and use with salmon, any white fish … or even on shrimp kebobs!
Taste tip: Pan fry or grill to "waken up" the herbs' depth of flavors
