How to make Italian Spice Mix
Prepping your homemade Italian Seasoning is fairly simple. Measure out your ingredients and put them into either a small mixing bowl or directly into the jar you plan on storing your mix.
Once you’ve got them all added in, just mix all of your ingredients together. Use a whisk, a fork, or- this is especially easy in the jar- just shake to combine.
If you haven’t already done so, transfer your spice mix over to a jar for storage. Assuming you store it well and you used fresh dried spices, this mix should last for a good couple years before the flavors start to go.

Hi Gloria, this is more for use in recipes like chicken, pasta etc. I suppose it could be used to make a dressing too. If you need good Italian Seasonings for oil and vinegar, try my other recipe CopyCat Good Seasonings Italian Mix, it’s my favorite. Thanks for dropping by blog and loving it. It made my evening:) Have a great weekend!

Thanks Jen. I’ve recently discovered that homemade seasonings are better than store bought when I ran out and had to make from scratch.. I started making my own chili powder and curry powder. Now I will make my own Italian seasoning!
