Summer Gourmet Club was a Mexican Fiesta…Mi Casa Es Su Casa. Experimenting in a different gourmet club format, we had a salsa contest-and I don’t mean dancing…hehe! Each guest brought a corn, bean, tomato, or fruit salsa.
Grilled chicken and beef fajitas were the main course, with tons of condiments. With each member of the club contributing a salsa, we sampled all of them with chips before enjoying the fajitas and then voted on a winner!
An old favorite of treasured diva mary was my entry…Black Bean Salsa. It’s quick, easy and tasty. Colorful, and healthy to boot! Serve with pita toasts or with grilled meats!
