Cilantro Salsa


Thank you Missy! I really, really don't like salsa. I mean, REALLY don't like it. I have always avoided chips and salsa wherever I go, well, because I am a wuss. I hate spicy; and to me, salsa, even mild salsa, is spicy. Well, my sister-in-law helped me get over my hatred when she introduced me to this o-so-cilantro-ey salsa recipe! It is DELISH! I whip it up way to often now, and I have even started basing my meals around it sometimes. We throw this on sandwiches and quesadillas constantly to liven them up a little bit.

Cilantro Salsa

1 16 oz. jar Pace mild salsa
1 large bunch cilatro

Put salsa and cilantro in blender or food processor. Serve with chips, on sandwiches, or however you desire!

Grilled Honey Lime Chicken Sammies

Okay, these were seriously delicious, seriously easy, and seriously going to be made all summer! We loved every bite of this sandwiches. I got the recipe from Rachel Ray...but her recipes are always so involved...definitely NOT 30 minute meals! I dumbed it down quite a bit and changed things here and there to our liking, and O man, I can't wait to eat them again. My mouth is watering. Right. Now.

Grilled Honey Lime Chicken Sammies

Marinade
1 chicken breast
2 limes, juiced
2 Tbs. honey
1/2 bunch cilantro, finely chopped
1 Tbs. EVOO
1 1/2 tsp. cumin

Salsa

1 large bunch cilatro

Put salsa and cilantro in blender or food processor. Serve with chips, on sandwiches, or however you desire!
