  • Chicken Fajita Salad

    Another delicious no-brainer grilling-season meal. Grilled chicken rubbed with southwestern spices sits atop grilled peppers and onions, freshly made pico de gallo (tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapeño, and lime juice), guacamole (avocados, onions, cilantro, and lime juice) and spring salad mix.

Found a recipe for “Hot Tomato!” in The New Basics cookbook — tomatoes are hollowed […]
