Fresh garden vegetables add color and crunch to this attractive salad. Its pleasant vinaigrette-type dressing is sparked with ground mustard and garlic.

HABANERO HONEY SWEET CORN CAKE



Habanero Honey Sweet Corn Cake image

This habanero honey sweet corn cake is spicy, sweet, savory, dense, moist, and very addictive! I also had no idea what to call this, as it's not really a cake, but it's also not a pie, or a pudding, or a custard, so I ended up with "cake" since it's inspired by sweet Mexican corn cake. No matter what you call this, it's phenomenal! Garnish with fresh fruit and top with crème fraiche, sour cream, Mexican crema, or whipped cream and freshly grated lime zest.

SWEET AND SOUR PASTA SALAD



Sweet and Sour Pasta Salad image

This has been made by my family for years; not sure where it came from. Great for cookouts or picnics since there is no mayo. Best if made the day before to let flavors blend. Serve with your favorite chicken, pork, or beef as a refreshing side dish. You can substitute red, yellow, or orange peppers for the green to add extra color to this dish.

Tips:

  • Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli has a better flavor and texture than frozen broccoli. If you're using frozen broccoli, be sure to thaw it and drain it well before using.
  • Blanch the broccoli: Blanching the broccoli helps to preserve its color and nutrients. To blanch the broccoli, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until it is bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately remove the broccoli from the boiling water and transfer it to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a variety of pasta shapes: Feel free to use any type of pasta shape you like for this salad. Some popular choices include penne, rotini, and bow-tie pasta.
  • Add other vegetables: To make this salad even more colorful and nutritious, add some other vegetables, such as red bell pepper, carrots, or celery.
  • Use a light dressing: A light dressing will help to keep the salad from becoming too heavy. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and herbs is a good option.
  • Serve immediately or chill: This salad can be served immediately or chilled for later. If you're chilling the salad, be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving.

Conclusion:

Sweet and sour broccoli pasta salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. It's also a great way to use up leftover broccoli. With its colorful combination of vegetables, tangy dressing, and crunchy pasta, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
