Hey Frugal Friends – are you looking for a sensational main dish salad that’s perfect for these hot, steamy summer days? I’m here to help you whip up a Grilled Chicken Salad that combines affordable ingredients in a versatile summer feast.

Watermelon Peach Salsa
If you’re looking for a fun little salsa, something super easy, to dress up just about anything grilled, look no further! This easy, breezy Watermelon Peach Salsa is cool, refreshing, and has just a hint of heat. And you won’t want to stop eating it.

Sticky Sweet Ribs
So I was watching Diner’s Drive-Ins and Dives (funny, but a lot of my conversations start out like this) and I saw the most amazing looking food from Tiki Iniki a restaurant in Princeton, Hawaii on their episode International Infusion. They featured their Sweet Sticky Sweet Ribs, and I had to ask myself, “Am I a Sticky Sweet Ribs person?” I was soon to find out, although the recipe I made isn’t the same as the ribs at Tiki Iniki, it’s definitely adapted from their recipe – think of this recipe as a “fabulously frugalized” version of their ribs.

Pineapple Mango Salsa
This is a lovely little fresh salsa for a dip or a side, mild if you’d like or fiery if you wish. The fruity pineapple & mango are set off beautifully by the lime/vinegar combo and the result is a bright, sweet/tart flavor explosion.

My Mango Lassi
I think I’ve been making a version of a Mango Lassi forever, now. Long before anyone ever heard of the word “smoothie” that’s for sure. I think it was the first time a mango became available at the grocery store near me.
