Hominy Salad
Hominy and tomatoes with a South Texas chili spice are a great change from boring potato salad. It is sort of like changing the radio dial from a typical oldies station to a fiesty, fun Mexican one.
Cooks' Note
The band Wall of Voodoo came out with a song called “Mexican Radio” when I was in high school. It was spicy and infectious and like nothing else on the radio at that time.
