Cinco de Mayo Menu

Cinco de Mayo is a special day for me. It was my maternal grandfather’s birthday (my favorite being ever). It also makes me think about my paternal grandfather, Papa Romero and his lineage. He died when I was 18 and wasn’t into cooking yet. I wish I could learn Mexican dishes his mother made. I love taking family recipes and making them plant-based.

Drinks:

Jamaica (hibiscus) agua fresca

Tequila two ways ( VIVA SYAMA & Passionate Lyndsey)

Appetizers:

Chips, Salsa, and Guacamole (I’m not posting recipes for these, but fresh is always better than store bought)

Jamaica Pickled Eggs

Pickled Veggies

Main:

Tomato, Avocado, and Pepitas Salad with Honey Mint Dressing

Vegan Posole

Dessert:

Fruits with lime
