I've always thought of salads as more of a warm weather food. Not much better with a meal than a cold, crisp salad on a hot day. But with the addition of picante, this puts a whole new spin on the old salad and I think I'll be actively craving it that much more. Imagine... a healthy craving!
This post couldn't have come at better time. I am on a salad kick. Last night I even thought about putting some Picante Sauce in the ranch dressing. But decided not to.
The next salad I will be using it for sure. I bet it is going to be great. Sounds so good!
I had never thought to use Picante like this before! And I really love the idea of using tortilla chips this way. I've always been a fan of a crunch in my salad and I would imagine the Picante really coats those chip crumbles. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it!
Any other ideas to liven up the usual standard salad?
I do this! It's fantastic. Used in place of salad dressing, straight out of the jar. My favorite is grilled chicken or turkey. The Pace gives the salad a nice kick and a flavor that is a bit unexpected but really delicious. I occasionally add shredded cheddar or pepper-jack (or a blend) cheese and a dollop of Pace, toss lightly and enjoy! I have added a little bit of sour cream to make a more creamy dressing, but I really like the taste of a green salad with Pace picante sauce all by itself. If you like croutons, try adding slightly crumbled pita chips or tortilla chips.
