Spicing Things Up with Trader Joe's

Trader Joe's never fails with awesome seasonal treats.  For the summer, we loved how they spiced things up with a variety of zesty flavors.  Our favorites:   
  1. Roasted Tomato & Mango Salsa (also included black beans - yum! - and packed some serious heat)
  2. Mango Jicama Slaw (the Lime Mango Vinaigrette it came with was perfect; just toss it all together and you had an awesome summer salad!)
  3. Chili Lime Seasoning (tasted good on EVERYTHING, particularly sprinkled on avocado)
  4. Jalapeno Limeade (pretty good mixed with mezcal but very acidic, so it created a little burn in the throat; we mostly used it as a marinade)

One of our favorite meals combined a few of these seasonal items.  We marinated pork chops in the Jalapeno Limeade and seasoned them with the Chili Lime blend before baking.  Served along with a bit of butternut squash and the Mango Jicama Slaw - Trader Joe's for the win!
