These super easy sides were used to create a make your own taco buffet! Any of these would be great sides for grilled fish or chicken if you didn't want to go the taco route.
1/2 a head of red cabbage shredded
1/2 medium green bell pepper sliced
1/2 medium red bell pepper sliced
1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
juice of two limes
1 tsp. chili powder
salt and pepper
Whisk together yogurt, lime, juice, chili powder, salt and pepper. Pour mixture over vegetables, serve.
Mango Salsa
2 large mangos, peeled and diced
1 fresh jalapeno, sliced (if you like it spicy leave the seeds and ribs; for a milder salsa remove)
1 tbsp. chopped cilantro
1/2 cup sliced red onion
drizzle of olive oil
salt and pepper
Combine all ingredients and serve!
Black Bean and Corn Salsa
1 15 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 box frozen corn kernels (feel free to use fresh if you have it available)
2 tsp. chopped cilantro
1/4 cup red bell pepper sliced
Drizzle olive oil
Juice of 1 lime
Salt and Pepper
Combine all ingredients and serve!
Grilled Swordfish, Flounder, Shrimp with Chili-Lime Marinade
3/4 cup Olive Oil
2 Tsp. Chili Powder
Juice of 1 Lime
Salt and Pepper
Simply brush the seafood on both sides and continue to brush the marinade on as you grill. I placed the shrimp in a grill top wok with the shells still on to keep the flavor. The flounder I placed in foil "boats" to prevent sticking. The swordfish cubes went straight on the grill.
Serve all of the above with warm tortillas, shredded lettuce, guacamole and chips (my sister made her famous recipe), and of course some Skinnygirl Margaritas®. A great summer feast with great friends and family!
