Lemon Oregano Salt
This easy 3-ingredient recipe for Lemon Oregano Salt is a simple way to add fresh flavor to everyday cooking. Bright, citrusy, and wonderfully aromatic, it’s made with just lemon zest, fresh oregano leaves, and coarse salt. This homemade flavored salt brings a delicious balance of zesty lemon, savory oregano, and salty goodness to your dishes. This versatile homemade seasoning is an easy kitchen staple and a beautiful way to preserve the fresh flavor of lemon and oregano. Use it as a cooking or finishing salt.
Healthier Lemon Mint Aioli
Our Healthier Lemon Mint Aioli has all the flavor but only half the fat of traditional aioli recipes. Made with fresh mint, lemon zest and juice, garlic, Greek yogurt, and yes…mayonnaise, this delicious spread will enhance any sandwich. With its Mediterranean flavor profile, it’s the perfect condiment for our Turkey Feta Burger. And, it’s terrific on beef burgers and grilled chicken sandwiches, too!
Quick Pickled Onions
With only one red onion, you can make three jars of our small batch, sweet and tangy Quick Pickled Onions! This ridiculously simple 5-ingredient recipe is ready in as little as 1 hour, and produces the most glorious bright pink garnish for your tacos, burgers, sandwiches, tartines, bagels & lox, pulled pork, BBQ sandwiches, and more! It not only provides a beautiful pop of color, but it’s absolutely yummy as a garnish on our Avocado Toast with Smoked Salmon.
