How to Use Paprika Spice Blend

This flavorful spice blend is perfect as a rub for grilled chicken, grilled fish and grilled vegetables. Use it as a seasoning for roasted pork tenderloin, roasted potatoes and roasted vegetables. Or, try using it to make a quick vegetable dip or flavorful salad dressing.

To make a creamy dip:

Combine 2 Tbsp. spice blend with 3/4 cup reduced-fat plain Greek yogurt and 1/4 cup sour cream (or mayonnaise) and 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil. Cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Makes about 1 cup dip for 8 servings (2 Tbsp. each, about 60 calories).

To make a vinaigrette:

Combine 2 Tbsp. spice blend with 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 1/3 cup red-wine, white-wine or cider vinegar and 2 Tbsp. water in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake until well combined. Refrigerate for up to 5 days. Makes about 1 cup dressing for 8 servings (2 Tbsp. each, about 130 calories).

Ingredients

6 tablespoons paprika
3 tablespoons dried mint
2 tablespoons cinnamon
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon coarsely ground cumin seed
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cloves

Directions

Combine paprika, mint, cinnamon, garlic powder, cumin, salt, pepper and cloves in a small bowl. Stir well to recombine after storing.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
