Consider complementing your meal with sides like Pickled Beets (Easy Spiced Beets) for a tangy contrast or fluffy rice for a hearty base. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces for added flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover herb seasoning in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, where it will keep its potency for up to six months.
