Beau Monde Seasoning Salt
 

Question:

My grocery store makes a spinach dip that I absolutely love! If I'm going to continue to eat it, I must cut the fat. The ingredients are listed on the container and I believe I can accomplish this. However, one of the ingredients is "beau monde." I don't have a clue what that is. Can you help me?
 

Beau Monde Seasoning

 

Answers:

Beau Monde is a seasoning salt. It can be found in the spice section of your grocery store. I have a bottle in my cupboard made by Spice Islands. If you can't find it, ask your grocer to stock it for you.
