What is Salad Supreme?
If you are not sure what Salad Supreme is, it is a salad seasoning spice blend that has been around for decades. I have used it for several recipes, and it is wonderful on garlic bread. The paprika based spice blend has red pepper, Romano cheese, sesame seed, and garlic in it. It adds a flavorful addition to salads and more.
Hello Friends! It is certainly getting warm out these days! We have been doing a lot of barbecuing to beat the heat in the kitchen and today’s recipe fits right in with summer side dishes.
Why Try This Recipe
This easy Salad Supreme Pasta Salad elevates the traditional pasta salad. This simple salad is so easy to make and also easy to customize.

We were making a French meal and the teacher used the spice on the bread. I can’t remember the teacher’s name, but I remember the spice blend. This tasty side dish can be a delicious addition at your next barbecue.
