To celebrate the nationwide launch of our Peruvian Spice Salt Blend as well as the nationwide expansion of our olive oils in Whole Foods Market, we partnered with recipe developer Lauren Hodgen of Citrus Diaries Studio to bring you an easy-to-make dish featuring these beloved global ingredients. 

This dish combines the delicate, smoky flavors of SIMPLi Peruvian Spice Salt Blend with the creamy texture of SIMPLi Gigante Beans and rich aroma of SIMPLi Extra Virgin Olive Oil, creating a satisfying, nutritious, and high-fiber meal that will keep you fueled and satisfied throughout the day. To bring out the best in our buttery Gigante Beans, we always toss them in our Extra Virgin Olive Oil. This cold-pressed olive oil adds a layer of richness with its peppery, slightly fruity notes, perfectly balancing the smoky, savory elements of both the smoked salmon and the Peruvian Spice Salt Blend. The secret ingredients to transforming and elevating any meal? High quality spices and olive oils, such as SIMPLi spices and olive oils! They are key to have on hand for any meal you create to help enhance flavors and create well-rounded, balanced dishes.
