Starting with black pepper, the spice blend provides a gentle heat that works equally well with milder and stronger dishes. This is followed by a splash of citrus zest, from lemon peel and lemon oil, that ignites the taste buds! Delicious on poultry, fish, asparagus, green beans, squash, and other summer vegetables.
