# How to Make:
01 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine all dried herbs, garlic granules, onion powder, sea salt, black pepper, dried lemon zest or citric acid, and cucumber powder if using.
02 - Whisk all ingredients together until uniformly distributed and no clumps remain.

# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It is a shelf stable flavor bomb that turns plain yogurt into something you will want to eat with a spoon.
- You probably already have most of these dried herbs in your pantry right now.
- It makes an excellent last minute gift when poured into a small jar with a handwritten label.
02 -
- Dried herbs lose potency over time, so if your dill or mint has been sitting open for more than a year, start with fresh jars before making this blend.
- Cucumber powder is a niche ingredient but it genuinely elevates the flavor from herbed yogurt to something that tastes like real tzatziki.
03 -
- Rub a pinch of the blend between your fingers before adding it to anything, because the warmth releases the essential oils and gives you a true preview of the flavor.
- Double the batch and keep one jar for yourself while gifting the second to someone who claims they cannot cook, because this mix does the heavy lifting for them.
