This chicken patty, seasoned with parsley, garlic and onions, is perfect for summer time. Enjoy as a burger, on top of a salad or paired with rice and beans.

The summer season is here! Time to light up the flames under some mean, tasty food. Of course, no summer get-together is complete without some skewers thrown on to a grill. For this dish, I recommend using lean, top sirloin steak cuts for a healthier red meat option, mixed up with some colorful vegetables. The marinade fuses the Latin flavors of aji, cilantro and lime with the Asian flavors of the soy sauce. The low saturated fat content of canola oil allows the marinade to stay free-flowing in the refrigerator.

Three shades of green combine in this pasta dish. It's so good and so good for you that it will quickly become a staple meal!
