Cayenne pepper and lime add that spice and tang, while the cotija cheese bring the creamy rich flavor. Sounds too yummy not to try!

With just a few ingredients, which include onions, vinegar, sugar and dill - you can have this salad on the table in just 15 minutes. Plus, it lasts a while in the fridge. NotSoPerfectHousewife calls it, “A simple and delicious Summer salad that can be kept in the refrigerator for days, adding to it as you go.”

Fresh Guacamole for Summer

The recipe also calls for yummy tomatillos (Mexican husk tomato), cilantro, red onion, red tomatoes, and cucumber. By the sounds of it, your guests will be doing a lot of dipping if you set this out at your next summer get together. Remmymartin25 says, “This is a very tasty guacamole recipe that is good for any barbeque or just to enjoy with chips while watching football games or any other favorite program.”
