CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif., May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Summer days are here and
Goya Foods has created fresh and light recipes to complement and spice up
backyard barbecues and picnics, and to keep you cool while sipping around the
pool.
Summer barbecues are just the occasion to prepare and serve up Goya's cool
summer recipes. With healthy eating on everyone's mind, how about a tasty and
authentic Mexican Nopalitos Salad. For a seafood dish that will tickle your
taste buds, a Ceviche in Spicy Red Sauce is served cool, is light and there is
no "cooking." And what can be smoother than a Mango Smoothie that is so super
easy to make, you can turn it into a fun activity for the kids while cooling
them down.

Desa, Goya Executive Chef and Product Development Manager. "These dishes are
authentic and easy to make with Goya products which we make sure are the best-
tasting and of the highest quality ingredients for our consumers." The Latin
American food leader, Goya Foods, has developed products for health-conscious
consumers, such as low-sodium beans and low-sodium seasonings. These
offerings complement Goya's premier, heart-healthy Olive Oil that the company
has offered as one of its staples since its inception in 1936 and which has
been rated as "best overall" by a leading consumer publication. Goya also
offers diabetic-friendly products that include: Organic Beans, Low-sodium

Ceviche in Spicy Red Sauce
(C)Goya Foods
"Cooking" with the acidity of lime juice is a delicious, low-calorie
method of preparing fresh fish, that has been around since ancient times. This
tomato-based version originated in Acapulco and is very popular along the
Pacific Coast. Serve up this tasty starter in a pretty sundae glass or on
soda crackers.
Ingredients
1 lb. very fresh, boneless red snapper or other white lean-fleshed fish,
cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1 tbsp. Goya Olive Oil
2 cloves peeled garlic, cut in half
1/2 cup finely diced white onion Goya Adobo with Pepper, to taste
1/4 cup finely chopped, fresh cilantro
1 can (8 oz.) Goya Spanish-Style Tomato Sauce
2 tbsp. Goya Botanita Hot Sauce with Lime Juice
1 packet Sazon Goya with Cilantro and Tomato
1/2 cup Goya Pitted Manzanilla Spanish Olives, chopped
Note: For extra "zing" add a finely diced Jalapeno along with the diced
onions.
Directions
1. Place fish in shallow glass dish. Add lime juice, cover with plastic
wrap and marinate for 2 hours at room temperature or until opaque. (The fish
will not "cook" as quickly if refrigerated.) Stir occasionally.
2. In small skillet heat oil on medium, add garlic, and slightly flatten
with fork, saute for 3 minutes. Let oil cool, and discard garlic.
3. Pour off excess lime juice from fish. Stir in onion and season with
Adobo. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
4. Just before serving, add cilantro, Tomato Sauce, Botanita, Sazon,
Olives, garlic-oil and mix well. Serve cold with soda crackers.
