Use paprika to add color and a slightly pungent sweetness to any dish. Try it on cheeses and spreads, hors d'ouvres, salads, egg dishes, marinades and smoked foods.
Add it to the flour used for dusting poultry, meats, and seafoods, and include it in salad dressings, where it will both add color and work as an emulsifier (to combine the oil and vinegar).
Mix with olive oil and rub between the skin and breast of a roast chicken, add to deviled eggs or egg salad, spice up hot or cold tomato soup, mix into guacamole dip.
Add a little smoked paprika to vinaigrette and toss it through a salad.
