How to Make a Substitute for Herbamare - Easy seasoned salt recipe using spices from your pantry. Save money and make your own Herbamare substitute at home.

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.

    I am not a big fan of sage. Can I reduce the amount or leave it from the recipe?

      Yes, you can either reduce the sage or leave it out.

    Spirulina is quite healthful. For those who like the flavor, just add it to the mix. Nori and wakame should work as well, although I have not tried either in seasoning. Just be aware of the source.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
