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.
