Recipe: Perfect Collard Seasoning Blend™

Use PerfectCollard Seasoning Blend™ as you would use salt for cooking collards. Omit all other seasonings except baking soda. Also sprinkle it on collards at the table. Use it to season other greens. It is delicious on yellow crookneck squash, cauliflower, and other vegetables. This seasoning blend is one of the best-tasting you will ever eat.

Give your collards pizzazz by simply shaking the amount of seasoning that you like.
