Storage: A glass or plastic container saved from store-bought spices works great for storing your own seasoning blends. I have been using 4-oz mason jars for all of my spices and seasoning blends for nearly a decade. It’s inexpensive and looks super organized.

Salt: It’s up to you if you’d like to add salt to this seasoning mix. If you prefer, you can make and store the seasoning without salt - just be sure to add it later when you use the seasoning in a recipe.
