  1. Very good for Taco salad.. I added a half teaspoon of the Southwest seasoning from Tupperware for added zip
     
  2. I had this on a tossed salad tonight - romaine, lettuce, & scallions. I think I would have enjoyed it more on a taco salad. The jalapeno was the predominant flavor; it added a lot of spice but not a lot of depth of flavor, so after tasting it, I added a bit of garlic. It would have been great on a salad with black beans, sour cream, grated cheddar, avocado, salsa, etc.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in a wooded hillside area of Los Angeles where it feels like being out in the country. I grew up in Rhode Island, and came to LA after graduating from URI. I recently retired from my job as an environmental specialist. So now I have time to collect internet recipes. My hobbies & interests are aquatics, shell collecting, my cats, feeding stray cats, home improvement projects and cooking. I love to travel and, years ago, lived in Mexico for several months. My favorite cookbooks are the ones written by Diana Kennedy; they are all great; and I have them all, some signed by her when I was enrolled in her cooking classes. I have a lot of cookbooks; some of my other fave authors and their books are: Madhur Jaffrey (especially World Vegetarian, World of East Vegetarian Cooking and A Taste of the Far East), Faye Levy, Martha Rose Shulman (especially Mediterranean Light, Provencal Light and Mexican Light) and Paula Wolfert.
