There’s something magical about a good veggie seasoning, the kind that makes even simple steamed broccoli taste exciting. I created this Citrus & Herb Veggie Dust one sunny afternoon when I wanted something that captured the freshness of my garden herbs and the lively zest of citrus. It was one of those recipes that came together effortlessly yet became a staple in my kitchen. Every time I toss it over roasted carrots or grilled zucchini, I’m reminded how a touch of brightness can turn ordinary meals into vibrant, flavor-packed dishes. If you’ve ever felt your veggies needed that extra something, this little jar of magic might just be it.

You can easily adjust the salt or spice level to suit your taste, or swap in lime zest for a tangier twist.
Store this seasoning in a small airtight jar, and it’ll stay fresh for up to 2–3 weeks, though mine never lasts that long because I keep sprinkling it on everything!
