Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup paprika flakes
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 lemons
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
  • sea salt
Directions
  1. In a frying pan, toast paprika flakes over medium heat to release aroma — about 2 minutes.
  2. Cover with extra virgin olive oil and return to a simmer. Turn off heat and let cool. This will allow the paprika to steep and infuse the extra virgin olive oil.
  3. Once cool, add the lemon zest, lemon juice and salt to taste. Whisk vigorously to combine.
  4. Gently stir in mint leaves and drizzle over your favorite salad.
