Here in Utah it’s been a little dreary and wet these past few days. My cooking class this month was all about Caribbean recipes and everything pineapple and coconut yumminess! It was the perfect way to spend a cold, spring day, drinking pina coladas looking at it snowing outside.
We also made this Rumbi’s salad which has been a favorite of ours for many years. I love the flavorful dressing, sweet mango, feta cheese and grilled chicken. The combinations of all of the flavors are so amazing! I hope you these recipes bring a little sunshine and warmth to your meal plan.
