Substitutions
- Granulated garlic and onion can replace the powdered versions one for one.
- Add dried lemon peel for a brighter blend suited to fish and vegetables.
- Leave out the cayenne entirely for a family-friendly, mild version.
Tips
- Read labels carefully: celery salt, garlic salt and onion salt are mostly salt. You want the powders.
- Make a small batch every couple of months; ground spices fade fast.
