Spinach and Herb Mix

This dip mix is my version of Tastefully Simple's Spinach and Herb Mix.  I think I nailed it and now I don't need to spend 9$ on a bottle of spices.   What a great way to get spinach into your kids!

1/3 C dried spinach-dry on the counter or in a dehydrator.  1 bunch should yield the dried amount needed for this recipe.

2 T dried onion

1 T + 1tsp dried dill

1 tsp ground garlic

Mix together and store in a jar.

For yummy dip add:

2 T Spinach and Herb Mix

1/2 C real mayonnaise-don’t substitute

1/2 C sour cream or plain yogurt

Mix together and chill till ready to use.

For Chicken or Fish:

Coat meat with a little olive oil.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Coat with Spinach and Herb mix and let marinate for 30 mins.  Grill or bake.

Herbed Roasted Chicken:

Add 1 T Spinach and Herb Mix to 2 T butter. 

Separate chicken skin from meat but don’t remove.  Rub butter mixture under chicken skin to coat.  Then rub remaining butter on top of chicken.  Salt and Pepper chicken.

Bake chicken in roaster, covered until done about 45 mins. at 350 degrees.  Remove cover to crisp skin if desired the last 15 minutes.
