This summer crab salad is great for a sunny day. Cold crabmeat, pickles, tomatoes, and red onions, plus a few simple dressing ingredients create a salad that could go over lettuce or even served with tortilla chips.
Spicy Three Pepper Hummus
My family loves a popular brand of 3 pepper hummus. Unfortunately, they love it so much that a container is demolished in one sitting! This recipe makes 3 times the amount in the sore bought containers for about the same price as one 8 ounce tub.
Slow Cooker Pozole
An easy pozole recipe made in the slow cooker. You can add another can of hominy if your slow cooker is large. I prefer hot enchilada sauce with salsa, but the regular kind will do. Traditional Mexican pozole is served with shredded cabbage, lime wedges, avocado, onion, cilantro, and, of course, warm tortillas.
