This is great side dish to go with just about any southwestern dish.  It is a salsa/salad.  You can use it to top a dish as a salsa, or serve as a salad on the side.  It stores well in fridge so it lasts for several days.  You can add tomatoes, but then it would be best eaten right away.  Tomatoes deteriorate very rapidly in fridge, refrigeration damages the membranes in the tomato and causes it to taste gritty and mealy.

Taco Tuesday is such a wonderful blend of chili powder, domestic paprika, granulated onion, cumin, granulated garlic, Mexican oregano, brown sugar, black pepper medium, and cayenne pepper.  It is fantastic in just about any southeastern recipe.

A glass of chilled Chardonnay is great with this meal.

I used some leftover Black Bean & Corn Salad to top a plate of Nacho's for lunch the next day.  So yummy!

Strawberry season is here!  I wanted to make a savory dish with these luscious berries, pork and fruit together are made in heaven.  I decided to make a savory strawberry sauce with Ravensview Rosemary Garlic.  This is hand blended with sea salt, black pepper, garlic, onion, and rosemary. It is a real winner for lamb and other red meats. Great on beef ribs and roasts.  And as it turns out, great in a berry sauce too!

I had a box of King Arthur’s Potato Pancake mix, and thought this would be a great time to try.  Pork, potato and fruit, classic!  I added 4 tbsp chopped onion, 1 chopped jalapeño to this potato mixture as well as 1 tsp Ravensview Rosemary Garlic.  Very tasty!

This is super easy to make, and I was told by my neighbor that tasted this dish, that this meal is a real contest winner!

A glass or Shiraz went very well with this dish.
