The strawberry salsa at bottom is a light, refreshing starter. If you can still find sweet peaches, you can make a peach salsa (top) as well.

Recipes: End-Of-Summer Dinner

Page 1: Strawberry Salsa With Cinnamon Tortilla Chips Recipe

Summer is quickly drawing to a close, but you can still enjoy one last hurrah before fall arrives. The recipes in this seven-course dinner, developed by spice leader McCormick, take advantage of seasonal ingredients and lend themselves well to outdoor cooking and eating (and indoor dining, of course). In addition, they utilize ample amounts of the Seven Super Spices, which provide you with loads of antioxidants.

This is a hearty feast. There are two main dishes. If you’re having a large crowd, you can make both. The pasta salad can be a main dish for vegetarians and vegans, or a third side. The squash, green beans and potato salad are also vegan, made with olive oil instead of butter.

Strawberry Salsa Recipe With Cinnamon Tortilla Chips

This fresh fruit salsa is perfect for summertime entertaining when lighter fare is called for. Super Spice cinnamon flavors both the salsa and the quick-baked tortilla chips. If you don’t have time to make the chips, you can serve the salsa with Mexican-style, unsalted chips.
