Since it seems like a quiet night here on the front, I thought I’d share my Dad’s recipe for seasoned salt. He probably cobbled it together from somebody else, but I really like it.

I’m giving the ‘Generic’ formula, if you make the parts Tablespoons, it make about enough to fill one of those small pizza cheese shakers (that’s what I keep it in). I’m probably going to get a batch of those shakers at the local restaurant supply house, fill them and give them as Christmas gifts.

2 part Kosher Salt
1 part Onion Powder
1 part Dry Mustard
1/4 part Cayenne Pepper
2 parts Paprika (Don’t use smoked, it’s too strong a taste IMHO)
1 part Garlic Powder
1/2 part Black Pepper
1/2 part Oregano finely crushed
1/2 part Thyme finely crushed
1/2 part Basil finely crushed
(or 1 1/2 parts mixed crushed Italian Herb Mix for the herbs)

I use this all the time when I cook, MUCH better than Tony C’s, or anything else I’ve tried.

Enjoy, and as Julia would have said.. Bon Appetit
