Aria's Version
For a fresher flavor, use 1/4 cup of finely minced fresh garlic instead of granulated garlic.
Note that fresh garlic will have a more pungent taste.
Adjust the amounts of herbs and spices to your liking.
If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, increase the amount of granulated garlic or fresh garlic.
For a citrusy twist, add 1/2 teaspoon of dried lemon zest.
To make it a coarser blend, lightly pulse the mixture in a food processor before storing.
