a little distinct from lemon pepper, and better still because you made it.

Ingredients
- 4 teaspoons granulated lime zest
- 4 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 4 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Combine the lime zest, black pepper, and salt in an airtight jar. Shake to mix. Use in recipes where you would use lemon pepper.
- To make your own dried lime zest: zest your limes with a small-mesh grater and either leave the zest out to dry naturally or put it in a 200 degree F (95 degree C) oven for an hour or two, until it hardens up, then crush it with a mortar and pestle until it’s small enough to use as a spice.
Reviews
I threw coarse salt and whole black peppercorns in my spice grinder, then added the lime zest (I dried my own overnight on waxed paper). This was simple to make and tasted wonderful in a lemon pepper grilled chicken recipe.
