Texas Caviar

Anther yummy one!

I served this with a Flank Steak served with hot tortillas. I put it on my steak in my tortilla. It was great.

Or as a dip for a BBQ with hamburgers and hot dogs.

Enjoy!

1 can white corn, drained
1 can black-eyed peas, drained
1/2 bunch green onion, chopped
1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
4 med. tomatoes, chopped
3 avocados, chopped
1 pkg. Good Seasons Italian dressing mix-make as directed.

Mix together all ingredients and chill overnight.

Here’s a few hints for making this recipe:

I sometimes substitute the canned white corn (drained) for frozen white corn. I add 1 to 1- 1/2 cups of corn-depending on how much corn you like.

If you want this to be extra healthy then use light olive oil when making your Good Seasons Italian dressing

Happy Scooping!

TUSCAN CHICKEN PASTA

Servings: 4-6 Servings
Cook Time: 30 minutes

INGREDIENTS:
3-4 Chicken Breasts
6 ounce package of Fusilli or Rotini Pasta
3-4 Roma Tomatoes (chopped)
½ cup Sun Dried Tomatoes (julienned)
2 cups of small Broccoli Florets
¾-1 cup Extra Light Olive Oil
1½-2 Tablespoons Pasta Blend Seasoning (Trader Joe’s has a great one!)
1 teaspoon Garlic Salt
Parmesan Cheese (to taste)
Lemon Pepper


Fill large pot with water, set on stove, and turn heat to high. Bring water to a boil and pour in the 16 ounce package of pasta noodles. Cook for 8-11 minutes until noodles are cooked through and tender. Drain pasta and set aside.

Season chicken with lemon pepper and throw on grill (medium heat for approximately 6 minutes on each side). After you have taken the chicken off the grill, cut in to 1-1½ ” squares and set aside.

In the meantime, chop your roma tomatoes and broccoli florets (set aside). Then, in a small bowl whisk together olive oil, pasta blend seasoning and garlic salt.

Take out a large bowl and add the pasta, chicken, roma tomatoes, broccoli, and olive oil mixture. Now, toss the ingredients to together and season with parmesan cheese (to taste). Serve immediately.

This pasta goes great with a tossed salad and toasted garlic bread. ENJOY!
