The Preserved Lemon BBQ Sauce pays an homage to the Mediterranean Sea from Spain and Portugal, to Greece, Turkey, and Israel. It adds mouth-puckering brightness to grilled fish, seafood, vegetables, and anything else that pairs well with bright and zesty lemon flavors. (Think: pasta or grain salads.) Made from nothing more than salt-preserved lemons, honey, olive oil, and turmeric, it is by no means a “traditional” barbecue sauce. But it brings the flavors of the Mediterranean to the grill.

2. DRESSING

   Make a simple, super versatile dressing with Preserved Lemon BBQ & a touch of olive oil as a base (try it on our No-Mayo Coleslaw), have fun with it from there - add Sumac for some sweetness & tartness, garlic for a bit of spice, or fresh herbs or Za’atar.
