Zesty Summer SaladPrepare homemade Ranch dressing from seasoning packet, chill in fridge for several hours or until cold and thickened. Marinate 2-3 chicken breasts 8 hours (or overnight) in 1/2 C honey, 1/2 C soy sauce and a dash of garlic. Grill and cut into pieces. Set aside. Wash 1-2 heads romaine lettuce, store in fridge until ready to use.
Mix together:
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can corn, drained (I use frozen)
1 cucumber, halved and sliced (optional)
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 red onion, diced
1 sweet pepper, diced (optional)

That sounds really good! Maybe we'll use it when it hits the 70*s around here; you know, like in July. :) Yesterday everyone was outside playing as though it was summer because it was 45* & sunny (instead of below freezing and dreary like every day before it). Such a sad life here in the Midwest! Enjoy the outdoors & grilling!
Hooray for Jenny's recipes! I love it when you post these--they're always so yummy. Maybe I'll send Ben out in the snow this week to grill... :) We miss you guys!
HI Jenny-I didn't know you were in our stake. I didn't know you played the organ (and really well) You are a girl with many talents! With Bare Minerals, I have tried their mascara and hated it! I would have black under my eyes before dinner. But I do like their eye makeup remover. I use their eye brow filler -like. And that is it so far. I like to try new things! And always check it out when I am at Ulta.
