It must be getting close to Cinqo de Mayo because I've been thinking about margaritas recently. On Wednesday I put together a dinner with Tequila Lime Marinated Salmon, Mango Chili Salsa, Sauteed Napa Cabbage with Serrano chili and garlic, and wild rice. Paired with a fresh margarita it was scrumptious!
I used some left over wild rice from a couple nights prior. Whenever I make wild rice I always make extra to use in salads, soups or as a side with another meal.
Mango Chili Salsa
1 Mango
1/2 Serrano Pepper, minced
1 Shallot, minced

mix together and chill
Tequila Lime Marinated Salmon
