Made this for a party, it was a hit with most of the folks there
I would never thought of using McCormick® Grill Mates® Baja Citrus Marinade in a salsa. Our only changes were replacing the ham with diced jicama. I loved using a seasoning packet it made it so much easier and faster to make. I will definitely be making this again. It was very yummy.
