Mrs. Dash Table Seasoning

1 cup dried vegetable flakes
4 teaspoons herbes fines
4 teaspoons sweet paprika
4 teaspoons parsley flakes
4 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon peel, dried
1 tablespoon citric acid powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon celery seeds
1 dried tomatoes, cut into slivers -- not in oil! (1 to 2)

Use a coffee or spice mill to grind up everything that is not already ground to a fine grain texture.

Hint: Do the celery seeds with something heavier to get them to pulverize.

Hint: You will get better results if you undergrind, sieve, and regrind the coarsest stuff instead of pulverizing everything into dust in an attempt to get the big chunks out.

This is the general table shake--you can substitute up to 2 tbsp. of your favorite dried herbs for the herbes fines. (e.g. oregano, basil, etc.)
