Mrs. Dash® Goes South to Spice Things up in the Kitchen

The flavors of Mexico and the Caribbean can turn any meal into a party. Take your taste buds south of the border or island hopping, but leave the sodium behind with two new seasoning blends from Mrs. Dash^® – Fiesta Lime and Caribbean Citrus – available just in time for summer in May 2009.

Get the party started with Mrs. Dash^® Fiesta Lime Seasoning Blend and create healthy Mexican dishes that are salt free but still full of flavor. All-natural herbs and spices like sweet chili pepper, cumin, paprika and cayenne pepper blended with lime juice and zest turn up the flavor on all of your favorite Mexican-inspired dishes from chicken to tacos. Let the Mexican flavors dance their way onto the menu as a perfect addition to any chicken, meat, fish or vegetable dish.

Mrs. Dash^® Caribbean Citrus Seasoning Blend is bursting with all-natural spices like sweet chili pepper, allspice, cayenne pepper, cumin, cinnamon, coriander, nutmeg and ginger. Combined with orange zest and lime juice, Caribbean Citrus makes any meal a true tropical experience, whether you are serving chicken, pork, seafood, vegetables or even fruit salad.

"Americans continue to consume nearly double the recommended daily amount of sodium each day, so controlling how much salt you use in your cooking is an important step toward curbing your intake, while making sure you aren’t sacrificing the flavor,” said Brittanie Stewart, Assistant Brand Manager, Specialty Brands, Alberto-Culver. "The new Fiesta Lime and Caribbean Citrus Seasoning Blends from Mrs. Dash^® are guaranteed to get people cooking and grilling crowd pleasing, healthier dishes with a little extra kick.”

As with all Mrs. Dash^® seasonings, the Fiesta Lime and Caribbean Citrus Seasoning Blends are all-natural, salt-free and contain no MSG. The suggested retail price is $2.99.
