Cate, bside, sparkles!

I finally made that salmon recipe, with the black bean/corn salsa! It was tasty. I do loves me some salmon.

BF said to tell you gals he loved it. So, thanks for the recipe!

bsidebella

WHOOO!!! You're welcome, marley! Glad your man loved it. Isn't it so easy?

I was going to make a salmon dinner this week but it was $10/pound at my supermarket. I hope the price comes down soon; I am craving it something awful.

calindi

Glad you liked it!  It is delish.

I'm trying to find a way to make it "caveman approved" for BF's new diet.  I'd have to cut out the black beans, but I think it would still be tasty with a bunch of vegetables.

I finally made it a week ago, and it was sooo tasty! I have to admit, I was a little skeptical when it called for putting pesto in a dish that had salsa as an ingredient, but the flavors mixed really well together.

Also marley, YGPM!

sparkles - I know, right? I was like, I love pesto...I love salsa....but together?? No, it was absolutely perfect. I wish I had more culinary vocabulary words to describe it.

Cate - You are still on the caveman diet?

Bside, hope salmon comes down for you. I love salmon so much. YGPM back!

Sparkles, I loved the pesto, I really thought it made the dish. BF was skeptical at first, though, too. He asked "isn't pesto Italian? Italian plus Mexican...?" Funny. I wasn't feeling ambitious enough to make my own pesto this time, like bside suggested, but it was still yummy.

Cate, you should go for it! I think almost any veggie would work.

BF is still on the caveman diet.  I'm on a "if you cook it, I'll eat it - but I might add cheese or salt" diet.  He's being really sweet about it.  But yeah, he's become a bit more moderate - allowing some dairy, which makes a big difference.

I'd have to make my own pesto (since pinenuts aren't allowed - but walnuts make a tasty pesto).  And I'd do probably corn and a homemade salsa, and maybe even some homemade guacamole (sounds good, right?).  I'll figure out a good combo.

Make your own pesto at least once and you'll never go back, I swear!

Haha I attempted to make pesto once... it was by far the worst thing I had ever made. Although I think I made it wrong. Not sure how I managed that but it was extremely spicy (I guess that would be the best word to describe it.)

nik, what did you do to it?

I have the world's easiest pesto recipe if you want it, and I also can give you a recipe to make it with flatleaf parsley instead of basil.

niknik15

I don't even really remember. I think I just put basil, garlic, pine nuts and some olive oil together in a food processor.

bourgehm

Could you give me the pesto recipe?

A silly aside....there is a Mexican/Greek FAST FOOD restaurant here!!!!!!! It's an abomination to the awesome mexican food we have here, so much so that I am scared to get near it!

bourge and nik, YGPM!

Hazel_B

Bside - Can I get your pesto recipe as well?

bsidebella

YGPM, Hazel!
