    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.

    Canola oil in marinades keeps food moist and juicy. Canola oil's light color and taste allow other ingredients to sparkle in every recipe.

    A twist on the popular Southern barbecue dish, this “pulled pork” is infused with rich, exotic flavors, plus hints of chili and orange. Canola oil’s mild taste helps those flavors sparkle. The meat is wrapped in tortillas and garnished with shredded lettuce, cilantro or mint sprigs, green onions and a dash of sour cream for a sensational meal.
