Jamaica, aka hibiscus flower drink is refreshing in the summer.
pasta salad and chicken vindaloo
It was pretty tasty last night, and marinating overnight, it should be even better today. I used a bit of Trader Joe's California estate olive oil for the dressing, along with a splash of fresh lemon juice (thank you Aunt Char for the lemon) and salt/pepper.
In the freezer today I also spied a chicken vindaloo frozen rice bowl (courtesy of TJ's as well) which I will have a little later. They have lots of rice bowl selections that are tasty and all around fairly substantial.
I'm also making jamaica - hibiscus flower drink (see picture) since I'm out of seltzer water. Lots of folks add sugar to this but I like it au natural. You can get the dried hibiscus in a bag at Mexican supermarkets. I get mine at Food City in the spice section. Or, if you have a Mexico connection - in my case an Hermosillo connection - maybe you can get some brought to you directly (hint hint).
Happy lunching!
