Blanca arroyo what is hispanic cuisine all about? Mmm the delicious combination of a variety of foods from different countries, such as nopal, corn, beans, chickpeas, peppers, garlic and fine, fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, oregano, dill and thyme. This salad is so versatile that you can even serve it as an appetizer or with tortilla chips. It also makes a great side dish with dill baked salmon or grilled chicken breast, and is even enjoyable by itself as a starter. No matter how you prepare it, you will love it and your guests will be amazed.
