The Mykonos herb blend was invented in the 1960s. It seems that one of the chefs on Aristotle Onassis' yacht, on the occasion of the first visit of Jacqueline Kennedy, who would later become the Greek shipowner's wife, prepared this melange to dress a salad of carrots, cucumbers, and tomatoes that Jacqueline was fond of. Guests were so enthusiastic about it that soon the recipe went around the world. This blend encapsulates all the scents of the Mediterranean in an aromatic bouquet. It is a particularly good blend for flavoring fish and white meats, eggs and sauces, and steamed vegetable and legume dishes. Also excellent for marinating meats for grilling.
