Dehydrated Tzatziki Seasoning Mix (Printable)

A zesty dehydrated tzatziki blend of dill, mint, garlic and lemon for yogurt dips, dressings, and grilled veg.

# What You'll Need:

→ Herbs & Aromatics

01 - 3 tablespoons dried dill
02 - 2 tablespoons dried mint
03 - 2 tablespoons dried parsley
04 - 1 tablespoon dried chives
05 - 1 tablespoon granulated dried garlic
06 - 1 tablespoon onion powder

→ Spices & Seasonings

07 - 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
08 - 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
09 - 1 teaspoon dried lemon zest (or citric acid)
10 - 1/2 teaspoon dried cucumber powder (optional)

# Directions:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, add the dried dill, mint, parsley, chives, garlic granules, onion powder, sea salt, black pepper, dried lemon zest (or citric acid), and cucumber powder if using.
02 - Whisk all ingredients together vigorously until the seasoning blend is uniform and no clumps remain.
03 - Transfer the finished blend to an airtight container or glass spice jar. Keep in a cool, dry pantry for up to 6 months.
04 - Stir 1 to 2 tablespoons into Greek yogurt or sour cream with a drizzle of olive oil for an instant tzatziki-style dip. Alternatively, sprinkle directly over grilled vegetables, chicken, or seafood.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • This mix turns plain Greek yogurt into something magical in under thirty seconds, no chopping or grating required.
  • It keeps for six months in your pantry, which means tzatziki flavor is always moments away even when your fridge is bare.
02 -
  • Dried herbs vary wildly in potency between brands, so taste your blend with a small amount of yogurt before committing to the full ratio.
  • Skipping the lemon zest or citric acid will leave the mix tasting flat, because that acidity is what makes tzatziki unmistakably tzatziki.
03 -
  • Toasting the dried herbs in a dry skillet for thirty seconds before mixing wakes up their essential oils and deepens the entire flavor profile noticeably.
  • A small pinch of sugar, barely a quarter teaspoon, tames any bitterness and makes all the individual flavors taste more harmonious.
