Herb Seasoning Blends for Dips, dressings, rubs and more, Choose your flavor

I could not decide how to list my more than 39 herbs mixes, so I decided to put them all in one place. Here you can choose from any ONE of my blends for making dips, sauces, salad dressings, rubs, marinades, salsa and more.  All but a few are salt-free, all are gluten free, and none have preservatives or anti clumping agents.

** The purchase price includes ONE mix, please choose from the drop down menu. **

You can now buy as many mixes as you want from this listing. The pricing is still per mix, but if you want more than one choose a larger quantity.

You can see below for more details, or take a look at the photos.

At the Backyard Patch I craft blends of home-grown herbs to use in cooking and entertaining. Each mix comes in a zip seal pouch for easy storage along with tips, instructions and easy-to-follow recipes for creating herb-flavored delights. Although each was originally crafted to make a particular item, years of experimentation by customers and family has resulted in extra recipes and variations which are included with each mix.

Like all blends from the Backyard Patch we guarantee an 18 to 24 month shelf-life, because we hand-blend only the freshest herbs. All Backyard Patch herbs are raised organically and are chemical and pesticide free.

Although the weights vary each package contains three (3) tablespoons of the blend which in most cases is enough to make two recipes.

** The purchase price includes ONE mix, please state your choice in the buyer notes. **
