Comments
Use this blend in stir-fries with a bit of lemon juice or on any cooked vegetables, such as carrots, green beans, or snow peas. Also, delicious to use in dips or spreads.

Very good to mix with lemon juice, white wine and extra virgin olive oil as a classic American flare to tossed salads or a marinade for meats and vegetables on the on the grill.

You can also use this blend as a rub on meats for roasting or in soups, chowders, or sauces.
