Pro tips

If you can’t find some of the herbs, feel free to omit or replace them, but it would be best to make this exact recipe.
Dried herbs work better than fresh herbs and they will make your seasoning last longer, but you could also use fresh ones.
I’d rather mix the ingredients in a bowl because it’s fast and clean. However, if you are looking for a lighter texture or your herbs don’t have a similar size, you can use a blender or a grinder.
