I've seen this replicated elsewhere in different portions, but I first discovered it in an old church cookbook out of mid-Tennessee. I love it. It's great just sprinkled on top of regular green salads as well. It was originally designed to be an alternative for "Salad Supreme Seasoning"

Ingredients:

4 tbsp Parmesan cheese
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
1 tsp celery seed
1 tsp poppy seed
1 ½ tsp salt
2 tsp paprika
3 tsp sesame seeds
dash cayenne (I omit this)
dried parsley flakes (optional)

Mix all ingredients, and store in a container, in the fridge.

One recipe is equal to one jar of Salad Supreme if you are going to use it in a recipe.

If you are on a low salt diet, feel free to change the recipe to suit your needs, or adjust to your personal taste.

To use it for a pasta salad include 3 tbsp on the mix with 1 pound (dry) of cooked pasta and either 3 tbsp oil or mayonnaise if you prefer your pasta salad creamy.
