Trust me, our Jalapeño Olive Oil will be your new favorite oil for oven roasting your veggies. The spicy flavor will cook into your food giving your meal a subtle zing - if you want to kick it up even more, finish with a little drizzle after you plate it.

Salad season is upon us - spice it up by creating a light and flavorful dressing for your summer salad! My go-to? Watermelon, jicama, avocado and cilantro finished with this Peachy Jalapeño Dressing

4. Make a fiery pesto
