I
always look forward to the annual, pot luck pool party hosted by friends, Becky
and Dianne, and this year was no different. Our hosts provided the themed
main course of “Tacos.” Guests were asked to bring complimentary appetizers,
sides and desserts. I shared my most requested Hot Corn Dip which is always a hit and didn’t
disappoint.
Other guests showed up with typical sides and a few surprise desserts including cream filled churros, but the surprise dish for me was Diane’s ‘Texas Salsa,’ a family favorite passed down from her relatives. I typically share recipes that I write personally, but since this became one of my ‘requested recipes,’ I thought I would share it with you.
