How to use Tuscan Herb Rub

  • On chicken: 1–2 tablespoons per pound, plus your preferred salt. Roast, grill, or air fry.
  • On pork or turkey: Rub generously with oil, season with salt, then coat in Tuscan rub before roasting.
  • On vegetables: Toss with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a heavy sprinkle of rub. Roast at high heat until caramelized.
  • On seafood: Lightly dust salmon, cod, or shrimp with olive oil and lemon.

Tip: Because there’s no salt, you can layer this rub heavily without oversalting—perfect for big flavor on lean proteins.
