1 tablespoon dried basil |
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes |
1 tablespoon dried minced chives |
1 tablespoon dill weed |
1 tablespoon dried minced onion |
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
additional ingredients (for each batch): |
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
1 to 2 tablespoons milk |
1 can (2-1/4 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained |

Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Transfer to a small spice jar. Store in a cool dry place for up to 6 months. Yield: 5 batches (5 tablespoons total).
2. To prepare spread: In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and 1 tablespoon seasoning mix until blended. Beat in enough milk until spread reaches desired consistency. Stir in olives. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Serve with pita chips or crackers. Yield: 1-1/4 cups per batch.
