The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Black Bean and Cilantro Salad

Zesty bean salads make an outstanding alternative to heavy cookout sides like slaw and potato salad. Cucumber and jalapeno give this salad an equal balance of cool and spicy notes.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

I made this without the jalapeno or peppers. It is so fresh and delicious with the lime juice and cilantro flavors. The kids and my husband wolfed it down. I used grape tomatoes and red onion - overall very attractive and tasty!
