I found this recipe on Liz's blog (one of my favs!) and thought it would be perfect for a bbq. On Sunday the weather was perfect in Chicago so HusbandPlzak grilled some chicken and burgers. It was the first time this year and it was so exciting, boat weather is almost here!
Not only was this wonderful as a side dish for dinner but I also put a big scoop on top of romaine lettuce and enjoyed it for my lunch.
