Seasoned Salt

Salt, garlic powder, turmeric, paprika, and onion powder.  These are ingredients that most people probably have in their spice collections.  None of them are very expensive, but some of them are just used in one or two recipes that I have.  I end up wasting a lot of garlic and onion powder because I only use a small amount, then the humidity gets to them and they turn into one big lump.  All of these ingredients can be used in seasoned salt.  Seasoned salt can be expensive if you buy the small shaker of it, and the larger bottles sometimes end up getting clumpy and hard if you don't use them fast enough.  Making your own seasoned salt is pretty easy and you can make as much or as little as you want.  It tastes great and is a good way to use up some lesser used spices.  You can also add dried herbs such as parsley, basil, and oregano to this.  I have a small jar of this by the stove and when it gets low, I just make more.  If you wanted to make a large amount, add some cornstarch and store it in the fridge if you aren't planning on using it all within a month of making it.
