How to Make Italian Herb Mix

This recipe is as easy as it gets. Just add all the spices into a bowl and mix them until evenly distributed. I find it easiest to mix using a fork or a whisk.

You may have to give this mix a quick shake before using it every time as the heavier spices can settle to the bottom. 

Use this recipe to make Homemade Italian Dressing or as a twist on these Crunchy Baked Chickpeas.
