Tips for Making Dressing Mixes Last Longer

Proper storage: Store your seasoning mixes in airtight containers, like small glass jars. This prevents moisture and air from getting in and deteriorating the freshness.

Keep it cool and dry: Keep your seasoning away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

Lable and date: Remember to always label each container with the contents and the date you made it.

Use fresh ingredients: Starting with fresh ingredients ensure your dry mixes will last longer. Check the expiration date on you dried herbs and spices before adding them.
