Brazilian Chicken Salad

Black Eyed Peas Salad

This Salada de Feijão Fradinho is a refreshing salad that can be eaten all year long. However, it can be a great dish to eat with your New Year’s Eve dinner as many Brazilians believe that lentils attract good luck for the new year!

Brazilian Lemonade

A lemonade made without lemons?! In Brazil, lemons are not as common as limes and “limonada” refers to a limeade rather than lemonade. This limonada suiça, or Swiss lemonade, is said to be called such because it typically includes Nestle sweetened condensed milk. Just know that this drink is refreshing and delicious!

Lunch Box Power Pasta Salad

This thick, creamy dressing has a garlicky kick that becomes deliciously muted if served the next day in a lunch box. Substitute garlic powder if fresh garlic is undesired. Add additional vegetables of choice, diced small, to make the dish more colorful. Recipe by New England Dairy.
