Method:
  1. Step 1: Gather Ingredients - Start by gathering all your ingredients. Having everything ready will make the process smooth and enjoyable.
  2. Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients - In a mixing bowl, combine the dried parsley, onion powder, dried dill weed, season salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well mixed.
