Schilling® Salad Supreme® Seasoning
This orange-colored spice blend has been perking up salads, pasta, potatoes, hamburgers, and vegetables for years now, but I've never seen a homegrown clone for the stuff. Time to change that. While it's obvious that sesame seeds are a major part of this blend, you may not know that the main ingredient is Romano cheese (in the bottle, it's been dyed orange by the paprika). Be sure to store this one in the
refrigerator. You might even want to keep the seasoning in an empty shaker-top spice bottle. And if you're in the mood for some tasty pasta salad, just check out the tidbit below that comes right off the bottle of the original product.
2 tablespoons Romano cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds
1 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds
1/2 teaspoon celery seeds
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
dash cayenne pepper
1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
2. Pour blend into a sealed container (such as an empty spice bottle) and store chilled.
Makes 1/4 cup.

Schilling Salad Supreme Seasoning
Red Robin Seasoning
Red Robin® Seasoning
Give yourself some time to make a tough decision because there are nearly two dozen gourmet burgers on the Red Robin menu to pick from, not to mention scores of other fantastic food choices. Red Robin claims its steak fries are world-famous, and when
you get a burger your fries are served up on the side in a "bottomless" portion. Want some more fries? Just ask and you can have as many as your belly can pack in. But we found out that the burgers and fries have a very special secret ingredient in common that makes them taste so good: It's the Red Robin seasoning that's sprinkled on the food. Next time you make a burger, sprinkle some our version of the seasoning blend over the patty. Cook up some frozen steak fries or french fries and sprinkle a little of this blend over the top. You'll all sorts of uses for this versatile spice. And the recipe makes a portion that should fit nicely in an empty spice bottle.
3 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon instant tomato soup mix
(Knorr tomato with basil works great)
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Combine the ingredients in a small bowl and stir well. Store in a covered container.
Makes 1/3 cup.
