It would finally seem that the warm weather is upon us, and I for one am ecstatic. I’m not really a cold weather gal, so with the warm sunny days of summer rolling in soon, I can’t wait! I’m all about sitting out on the deck, throwing a ball to the dog and of course, grilling!
Firing up the grill is the thing I look forward to the most about the warm weather. It’s already getting quite the workout. These fish tacos with tropical vanilla salsa have been in regular rotation at our house. Flaky halibut is seasoned, then grilled to perfection.
Then the tender halibut is placed inside soft taco shells, but the real star of the show is the tropical vanilla bean salsa. You guys, this salsa is perfection.
I was eating it off a spoon all by itself! Ripe mangos and sweet pineapple are tossed with avocado, red onions and spicy jalapeños. But the thing that takes this tropical salsa from good to amazing is Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Bean Paste.
With its sweet, creamy flavor with velvety after-tones, this vanilla bean paste elevates this tropical salsa recipe to a whole new enticing level. I adore Nielsen-Massey vanillas because I know that all Nielsen-Massey products are certified gluten-free, certified Kosher, allergen-free and GMO-Free, and there is an expanding line of certified organic products.
I also love that Nielsen-Massey uses a proprietary cold extraction process instead of heat extraction to preserve all of the 300+ distinctive flavor compounds present in vanilla beans which means that I’m getting high quality vanilla that is going to make all my recipes taste amazing.
Nielsen-Massey is also a wonderful resource. I know that if I’m looking for inspiration or guidance, I can look on their site for great ideas on how to use their products. Check out all these uses and pairings!
