Title: Mrs. Dash Salt Free Seasoning Blend
Categories: Copycat, Spices
Yield: 2 /3 cup

1/4 c Dried minced onion flakes;
- crushed
4 ts Dried vegetable flakes;
- crushed
1 tb Garlic powder
1 tb Dried orange peel
2 ts Black pepper; coarse ground
1 ts Dried parsley
1/2 ts Dried basil
1/2 ts Dried marjoram
1/2 ts Dried oregano
1/2 ts Dried savory
1/2 ts Dried thyme
1/2 ts Cayenne pepper
1/2 ts Cumin
1/2 ts Coriander
1/2 ts Dried mustard
1/4 ts Celery seed
1/4 ts Kool-Aid unsweetened
- lemonade drink mix
1 ds Dried rosemary; crushed

So here's the challenge with this clone recipe: Not only do we have
to get the right ratios for nearly 20 different spices, but we also
have to come up with a way to get the same lemony tang that makes the
real Mrs. Dash the tasty salt-free seasoning blend we've come to know
and love over the years. Sure, we could use powdered citric acid that
is sometimes found in health food stores, but not everyone is going
to have that scary sounding ingredient readily available. Then we
still need to figure out the "lemon juice solids" part. Ah, but wait,
there's citric acid and lemon juice solids in Kool-Aid unsweetened
lemonade drink mix. It's perfect! Add a little of that drink powder
to the spice blend and we have a clone that in a blindfolded taste
test could fool even Mr. Dash.

Crush the vegetable flakes with extreme prejudice.

Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl and stir well. As you
stir, crush the leafy spices for a finer blend.

Store the spice blend in a covered container or a sealed shaker
bottle.

Tips:

It's best to use a mortar and pestle to crush these sometimes tough
little onion and vegetable flakes to about the size of rice, before
adding them to the mix. But if you don't have one of those handy
kitchen tools, you may also use the back of a spoon and a small bowl,
plus a little grease. You know, the elbow kind.
