Salt And Pepper
Salt and pepper is a common paired seasoning phrase. In recipes, it usually means season with salt for balance and pepper for a light aromatic bite, often adjusted to taste.
Identity
What it means
A shorthand for seasoning with both salt and black pepper.
Treat the phrase as a direction to season, not as a fixed premixed product. Add a little, taste when safe and practical, then adjust so the food tastes balanced rather than salty or harsh.
