Instead of buying Herbamare or another type of Seasoned Salt, I make my own. Even if I didn’t grow my own herbs and dry my herbs, it would still be more frugal for me to make my own seasoned salt recipe at home as most of the ingredients are commonly found in the spice cupboard. The great thing about making your own spice mixes is that you have complete control over the ingredients. Herbamare is made with quality organic vegetables and herbs, but it is also very expensive. The less expensive Seasoned Salts at the grocery store often contain ingredients that I don’t want in my food. So I balance my food ~~obsessions~~ preferences with my grocery budget by making my own Seasoned Salt.

How to Make a Substitute for Herbamare

An Herbamare substitute is easy to make. I make mine using sea salt, dried parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, rosemary, thyme, sage, basil, celery seed, marjoram, and dried kelp, but you can vary the ingredients to match your personal preferences.

I put all of the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. The only ingredient that is not commonly found in your spice cupboard is dried kelp. If you don’t have it on hand, feel free to leave it out. This recipe makes one cup of seasoned salt.
