Notes
1 ½ TBS mix equals a 0.4 oz packet.Ingredient Substitutions
Dried herbs. This recipe calls for, what I think is, the perfect ratio of dried herbs (parsley, dill and chives). Feel free to change it up to suit your own tastes.
Garlic powder. dried minced garlic or garlic granules work well too.
Onion powder. dried onion flakes are a good substitute for onion powder.
