Look no further for the ultimate Greek Seasoning recipe!  Use it on your meats, seafood, pasta, vegetables, salads and dressings and more, this is a fabulous all-purpose seasoning with the perfect blend of flavors!

Greek seasoning recipe homemade best easy quick all purpose mix blend copycat Cavender's

I developed this Greek Seasoning recipe several years ago after being frustrated with the blends available on the market.  I wanted something more bold, more vibrant, more flavorFUL!  And so after experimenting with different ingredients and ratios I finally cracked it….the ultimate homemade Greek Seasoning mix!

It’s super quick and easy to make so you can either make it on demand in small quantities or you can double or triple it and store it to have on hand.  And it’s so much better than Cavender’s or the other stuff you find at the store!

How to Use Greek Seasoning

You can use this blend in anything that calls for Greek seasoning.  But beyond that it’s fantastic as an all-purpose spice blend.   Here are just a few ways you can use it:

  • To season meat, poultry and seafood
  • As a dry rub for grilling meat, poultry and seafood
  • On vegetables
  • In marinades
  • In salad dressings
  • On pasta and rice
  • In pasta, potato and whole grain salads
  • ….and more!

This is also the seasoning blend that we use in our fabulous homemade Greek Gyros and Slow Cooker Greek Chicken!

How to Make Greek Seasoning

Combine all the spices and grind them to a fine powder in a spice or coffee grinder.  I’ve been using my KRUPPS Spice/Coffee Grinder for years and it’s still going strong.

Note:  If you prefer the appearance of flaky green herbs in your spice mix you can skip blending it in the grinder.  However we recommend grinding it together to ensure an even ratio of ingredients when you shake the blend onto your food.

Store the spice mix in an airtight jar until ready to use.

Enjoy!

    This will be my second blend using your recipes (your creole seasoning gave me my whole life back 🤩). I’m making this Greek blend today and would like to add either celery seed or celery salt to my blend. Based on your ratios, how much should I add to your mix? I plan to use the blend on slow cooker chicken breast. Thanks. Keep inspiring…

      Thank you, Pamela, I’m happy you enjoyed the Creole Seasoning! :) Since there’s already a good amount of salt in this I’d either go with celery seed or reduce the amount of salt if you’re going to use celery salt. Either way, it can be an overpowering flavor so I’d start with 1/4 teaspoon, taste the blend, and you can always add more.

    Hello. I couldn’t use the powdered bouillon at all as it has MSG in it and will put me in the hospital – so I left it out. However, I did use a tablespoon of Better than Bouillion Beef Base in with the sauce – that has no MSG – and it worked great. Otherwise – love this seasoning. Thanks for sharinbg.

    Thankyou, Kimberly ~
    Today, I was privileged to serve up Greek Gyros for lunch for a young family. First time for homemade. I used your spice blend recipe to augment a basic pkg of herbs already in the cupboard, plus a bit of fennel et smokey paprika. “Marinated” a combo of 1 lb ground lamb et 3/4 lb ground turkey for about 30 minutes, etc. Had made the Tzatiki sauce early this am. What was not homemade was the Naan flatbread, though it was fresh et tasty (never had that before either. I am used to baking breads of different types, so in the future, will be baking my own Naan – it is so easy – have in fact been pan frying flatbread style off et on for years, just didn’t know it had a “name.” Anyway, Thanks again. I think the company, as well as me, enjoyed their Lamb Gyros. Iced cucumber water probably didn’t hurt either.
    Best thing, from the very start to the good-byes [and even after, the cleanup] was very enjoyable.

    You can get Chicken McKay Seasoning Broth, and also Beef McKay, at the health food store. They are vegetarian. You can get it with or without MSG. You can also get Savorex, and other bouillon replacements at the health food store, or ask a SDA Christian.

    I made keto Gyros today using this seasoning. I made one small change since I did not have any beef bouillon by grinding up two dried shiitake mushrooms for the umami flavor.
    I used a pound of beef and a pound of lamb and added 4 tablespoons of the seasoning. Love your recipe. Thanks for your efforts.

    We are not cultural at all, but like to mess around in the kitchen. We got out meat for fajitas, but didn’t have enough Mexican ingredients so looked up Greek on a whim. Your blend got an A+ from both of us and our 4 young children! We used the entire recipe (minus parsley because we were out) on approximately 3-4 lbs of sliced flank steak. It was slightly spicy but not enough to be minded by the kids. Served with flat bread and the only veggies in the house–carrots and radishes. A creamy sauce would have made it completely over the top!

    This was so good. I placed 5 frozen breasts in the crock pot along with some broth, cooked it overnight and then wanted to slice it but it ended up being shredded I made your seasoning and poured about 1/2 of it in with the chicken along with some of the broth. So good. I am having company for lunch and usually I don’t make something new but I was today and I am so glad I did.

    Ok, I made this, but I did not have beef bullion and I did not have parsley. It was still tastes great without it. I used this on chicken. I will definitely be using this again. I do not have a coffee grinder and I think it would be better if I did grind it all together. I saw gyro seasoning at the store, but it was loaded with msg and didn’t want that. S9 glad I found this recipe. Thanks for posting it.

    I have 4 lbs of lamburger. I want to make gyro meatballs for Christmas. If I double this recipe do you think that would be an appropriate amount of the spice mixture?

    In general how much of the spice blend to mix with a pound of meat?

    Reply
    • Kimberly @ The Daring Gourmet says

      December 13, 2018 at 10:39 pm

      Hi Vicki, this makes approx. 8 tablespoons of seasoning mix. I would say about 3 tablespoons of the seasoning per pound of meat. What I would do is start with that amount, break off a bit of the seasoned ground meat, fry it up and taste it – then you can determine if you want to add more.

    I love this mixture! I recently started cooking for a Kashmiri & he misses his home-type foods. So I’m learning as much as he is(men don’t cook there, so I’m making both of us learn,lol) I omitted the onion & black pepper,& added allspice, rosemary, & coriander. I use it w/ beef ribs on a 3 hour slow simmer w/ a can of beer to give it that malty, rich flavor. In a pinch, 1/2 can Dr. Pepper works, but it won’t be exactly the same.

    Please review your instructions for fresh ground pepper quantities; if we follow your premise that fresh ground occupies less volume (which in itself is wrong, as pre-ground spices compact over time; you don’t even need to grind any pepper to prove that, simply get your container of pepper and transfer some to another vessel, let’s say a shot glass, using a funnel, stop when full and tapping it on its side will magically create some more space to fill), your 2 teaspoons freshly ground would be equivalent to more than, not less, of already ground pepper. Aside from that, as Greek as cinnamon might be, it is not a part of traditional gyro recipes, nor is nutmeg. Your mix might be tasty, but no different than those cooks who surmise that throwing feta and Calamata olives in a recipe makes it “Greek”.

      I and most other Americans have not been to Greece. However, I can be fairly certain that the culinary history of Greece as a country follows most, if not all of the many and diversified paths that other countries (and regions) have followed over the centuries. Until the 20th century, people living in most countries rarely traveled more than 50 miles from their home. And the food they prepared was made from recipes based on the ingredients available within 10 or 15 miles of their home. Therefore, there often were huge regional differences on how one prepared a particular dish. And what fun they had arguing about which recipe was the best and/or authentic. There are some ingredients that, while excellent quality, do not “travel” well and therefore are substituted, even today, by local or other ingredients that travel better. Here in the USA, we often craved the “tastes of the world” but again, until relatively recently some of the ingredients were not available in one part of our country or another. Each cook did the best that they could with the ingredients available and we ended up with many regional recipes for the same dish. That is probably the reason that in the USA, the farther you are from, say, Mexico, the less authentic the Mexican food available to you is. That does NOT mean that one region’s version of a dish is better in any way than another region’s. It DOES mean that the people of that region have become accustomed to the version of a particular dish made with ingredients that were historically available to their ancestors. Please keep this in mind when judging someone else’s culinary efforts.

        Hi Kim. Did you, by any chance, try allspice instead of cinnamon in the combination? I am obsessed with trying to find that Greek smell that floats around the greek restaurants. My conclusion is that combined with all other spices, the essential greek taste must be allspice and nutmeg..:-) I will try your combination. I am very excited. And I will try the allspice, too, which is also cinnamony a little, so that the nuance is not lost.
        Many thanks for sharing.

      No, you don’t have to but the problem is that the ingredients have different weights and consistencies and some will tend to float to the bottom or top so when you use it for sprinkling on things you won’t get an even mixture. If all you’re doing is taking the whole batch and adding all of it to a dish (like the homemade gyros), then it’s not a problem.

    Wanted to make gyros tonight but couldn’t find the prepared meat I have used in the past so I bought some shaved steak and started looking for a spice mix. Eureka! I found your page — and fortunately had the necessary ingredients on hand (substituted chicken bouillion power for beef – worked great). Prep was easy, and the food was all on the table when my wife arrived home tired. She was going to skip dinner and lie down until she passed by the pan of prepared gyros and the scent captivated her. She had three forks full before she even sat down to make her sandwich. She lived in Greece for a year and she knows good Greek food and this got a 100% rating. Three sometimes picky teens also loved it. It’s all about the spice and your blend is outstanding! !! Thanks for posting your “secret”!

    Reply
    • Kimberly @ The Daring Gourmet says

      March 1, 2015 at 9:14 am

      Hi Jennifer, the bouillon cubes tend to be a little moist inside which will make your seasoning clump together. I guess it depends on how you’re using the seasoning. If you’re simply adding it to something that’s going to be cooked anyway, then no big deal. If you’re needing to sprinkle it over food, I recommend getting bouillon powder.

        Thanks. DO you think I would use half of the bouillon for doubling the recipe or use the entire cube?

          March 1, 2015 at 4:05 pm

          Hi Jennifer, two teaspoons of powder make two cups of broth. So it depends on the size of your bouillon cube. Is one cube for 2 cups of broth? If yes, then use two cubes if you’re wanting to double the recipe. Also, different brands of cubes vary in saltiness so whatever you’re using this seasoning blend in, first taste the dish before adding any extra salt. Enjoy!

    Okay, I finally did it. I printed out this recipe when you first posted it with great intentions and I finally made this seasoning two days ago. Then I cooked it with chicken to make the gyros. It was yummy. I was intrigued by the sweet flavor the cinnamon adds to a savory dish. Thank you!

      That’s awesome that you finally made it, Susan! Yep, cinnamon is a must in Greek cooking. Many Greek seasoning blends use at least double the amount of cinnamon that I do in mine, but I prefer just a touch of it – not so much that the savory dishes taste like cinnamon rolls ;)

        I bought a “Greek” seasoning a year or so ago that included spearmint, but can’t find a recipe that I can use to duplicate it. Are you familiar with one? I’m on a keto plan that also doesn’t include any soy, and most beef bullion powder has some form of soy, so I probably wouldn’t add the bullion to it.

          Hi Joyce, the bouillon is what really adds that “umami” depth to the seasoning. As a substitute you might consider using another umami-rich ingredient that’s keto-friendly…dried ground porcini mushrooms come to mind and might make a really nice addition (I’d use just 1 teaspoon). Otherwise you can simply omit the bouillon and any substitute. Following the ingredient ratios of this seasoning blend I’d recommend adding 1 teaspoon of dried mint.

        Hey Tom, cinnamon is one of several spices referred to as “sweet spices,” including allspice, anise, cloves, fennel, and nutmeg, to name a few. They actually cause a chemical reaction in the brain that creates a sense of sweetness.
