In college I lived in Spain for a semester. Initially, I was in a small town with no world-wide changes but when friends and I took a trip to Barcelona, the first ting on the menu I had to order was a burger… I was craving one! I am a burger girl. I truly love them. For me, the messier the better.  I love toppings, I love flavors, but I can also enjoy a regular, classic burger with cheese, lettuce, tomato and ketchup. we found some of the best Mouthwatering Burger Recipes You Can Perfect at Home!

Authentic Salsa Verde

Pin to Pinterest

Salsa Verde is one of those sauces that you can add to just about anything savory and make it better! Although, we love it on it’s own with chips while watching the game, it’s also great when we’re entertaining to pour over a block of cream cheese and serve with crackers. Serve it alongside your favorite tacos or on eggs in the morning. The spicy tomatillos, punched up with garlic, cilantro with a twist of lime compliment so many foods! Enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 5 Tomatillos, husked and rinsed
  • 1 Jalapeno Pepper
  • 1 tsp minced Garlic
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh Cilantro
  • 1/4 cup minced Onion
  • Juice of 1/2 Lime
  • 1/2 tsp Salt

Directions:

  1. Husk and rinse 5 tomatillos.
  2. Remove stem and the seeds from jalapeno.
  3. Place tomatillos, pepper and garlic in blender or food processor and process until pureed but still chunky.
  4. Add onions, cilantro, lime juice and salt.
  5. Mix well and enjoy.

Grilled Watermelon Salad

Pin to Pinterest

Fire up the grill and get your taste buds ready for … watermelon! Most people may think that grilling fruit is bizarre but, it actually makes it taste better because it caramelizes the sugars in it. Add the grilled watermelon to crisp lettuce, top with creamy feta cheese and drizzle with tangy balsamic dressing and you’ve got a delicious, unique salad that you’ll make again and again! If you like extra crunch add some chopped pecans. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • Balsamic Salad Dressing
  • 4 oz Feta Cheese
  • Watermelon Cut in 1/2 inch Triangles
  • 1 package of Baby Arugula Lettuce

Directions:

  1. Preheat your grill to a medium heat.
  2. Cut watermelon up in 1/2 inch triangular pieces.
  3. Place watermelon on the grill for 1-2 minutes on each side or until you have nice grill lines on your watermelon.
  4. Place your watermelon on a bed of baby arugula lettuce. Top with Feta cheese and balsamic salad dressing.
