| Best mail day EVER! |
We like spicy food there is no doubt about that. Our garden is filled with spicy peppers so it was only a question of when we would try the Blue Diamond Sriracha Almonds. I looked at several different stores and didn't have much luck finding them so I am REALLY glad that I had the opportunity to have the company send me a couple of cans to try out. That was the best day to get the mail!
We couldn't wait to crack those cans open. And boy oh boy - they were DELICIOUS! When I first heard about these nuts I immediately thought they would be a fantastic addition to a salad - that crunchy spicy kick would really add some depth of flavor to a plate of greens from our CSA vegetable box. Except... I ran a triathlon before we got our first box and they made the PERFECT salty recovery food that Dan and I were happily crunching on while we drove home from the race. |
| Seriously -- FIND THESE!! This is only half a serving |
I still wanted to try them on a salad and I recently came across a recipe for a new-to-me salad. The best part -- it's so ridiculously easy to make!
Spicy Broccoli Slaw
- Serves 4 (or 1 if you don't want to share!)
Pour one bag of your favorite broccoli slaw into a bowl
Peel one tangerine - I used nugget tangerines because I sampled them in the grocery store and they were amazing and the size of it was perfect (the ones I bought were about baseball sized) and break it into its natural sections; toss into the bowl of broccoli slaw
Add 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon Trader Joe's Spicy Thai Peanut Salad Dressing mix to bowl
Chop a few ounces of Blue Diamond Sriracha Almonds and toss on top
Serve and enjoy!
This post was sponsored by Blue Diamond but all opinions are mine (and Dan's). While I was sent product to review for this post I am definitely seeking these out. My grocery store doesn't carry them currently but I am going to request that they start the next time I go because they are too good not to have in my life more often.
