Notes
Recipe from McCormick.
I’m tickled that you’re here! Like you, I wear many hats, and live to tell about it. This space is a place for sharing food, home, garden, travel and lifestyle tidbits, with some fun always thrown in for good measure.
How about letting PEOPLE know this is HOT AS HELL !!! them peppers will kill you
Yo this ain’t spicyyyy. get your tongue checked girl
the pepper is 10,000 to 25,000.[3] They are typically eaten raw and have a bright and biting flavor that is notably hotter than the jalapeño pepper.!!!!
Could I use ground coriander or ground cumin instead of the seed? Or is that the same thing??
Yes, you can substitute. If substituting ground coriander for the seeds, I would only use 1 teaspoon of dried ground coriander and only toast it for a short time, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Will be trying this at my next cookout.I think roasted potatoes would be nice in this salad.
Made this receipe for my wedding rehearsal dinner. A hit! Delish.
