Roasted Pepper salami Bites:

  • For The Bites:
  • 12 pieces of Genoa salami
  • 1 jar red bell pepper,roughly chopped
  • 6 ounces quesco fresco cheese, crumbled
  • For the Chimichurri Dressing 
  • 3 scallions roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves, loosely packed
  • 1/4 cup oregano leaves, loosely packed
  • 1 jalapeno, seeds and ribs removed, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • salt, to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Place salami slices on a cooling rack set on top of a baking sheet and place in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until edges curl up and salami is crispy but not burned. Remove from oven and set aside.

Meanwhile make the Chimichurri Dressing: combine all ingredients in a food processor and puree until smooth. Set aside.

To assemble Salami Bites, top each salami crisp with a rounded spoonful of chopped peppers and a tablespoon of crumbled queso fresco. Drizzle a tablespoon of Chimichurri Dressing over the top of each and serve.

Grilled Corn and Black Bean Salsa:

  • 2 ears of corn, husked
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • salt
  • 1 small red onion, finely diced
  • 1 small jalapeno, ribs and seeds removed and finely diced
  • 1 (15.5 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 bag tortilla chips

For Pomegranate Margarita (4 servings):

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice, (about 2 limes), plus lime wedges
  • 1/2 cup white tequila
  • 1/4 cup triple sec (recommended: Cointreau)
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
  • 1/2 cup Habanero Simple Syrup or to taste, recipe follows

For Habanero Simple Syrup:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 habanero chili

Salsa Preparation: Preheat a grill pan. Brush corn with 1 tablespoon of oil and season with salt. Place on grill and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove from grill and using a VIVA® paper towel, hold the ear of corn upright in a bowl and cut the kernels from the cob. Add remaining ingredients to the bowl and stir to combine. Serve with tortilla chips.

Margarita Preparation: Pour lime juice, tequila, triple sec, pomegranate juice and simple syrup into a small ice-filled pitcher. Stir well. Pour into ice filled glasses and garnish with a lime wedge.

Habanero Syrup Preparation: Place sugar and water in a small saucepan and stir to combine. Poke holes in the habanero and add to the mixture. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until sugar is completely dissolved and syrup is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Refrigerate until ready to use.
