Spring Recipes
Try these recipes on a sunny Saturday afternoon!

Fruity Eight-Layer Dip
Here's a twist on a classic recipe from recipe consultant, Joanna Dyer.

In a large glass bowl or casserole dish, layer each ingredient over the other, being careful not to mix them.

1/2 bottle Big Acres Mango Peach Chili sauce
1 can refried beans - mix before layering
1 small jar salsa
1 small container guacamole
1/2 bottle Big Aces Mango Peach Chili sauce
1 small container sour cream
3-4 ounces grated cheese
1 small can sliced black olives, drained

Serve with tortilla chips

Smoky Teriyaki Salmon & Asparagus Spears
Serves 4
Grill heated to 450 degrees

1 2 pound salmon fillet
1 bottle Big Acres Teriyaki Marinade
1/2 pound asparagus spears, washed & dried
1 Savu Smoker Bag for the Grill - Fish

Rinse salmon, pat dry and place in shallow dish. Pour Teriyaki Marinade over salmon to coat both sides. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. One hour before grilling, remove fish from marinade, pat dry and place inside smoker bag, skin side down in middle of bag. Place asparagus around fish inside bag. Make sure to pat fish and veggies dry before placing in the bag as the bag must remain dry inside for the first 15 minutes in order to allow proper smoking. Heat grill to medium-high heat (450 degrees). Place bag on hot grill over direct heat and cook according to chart on smoker bag package. You may open bag to check fish, if necessary. Once cooked, remove bag from grill and allow bag to sit for 10 minutes, then open bag and serve.
