A Very Saucy Party & a Contest

I've been debating, hemming and hawing and going back and forth for weeks over this Saucy Mama Contest.  After much deliberation, thought and sampling, I give you my submission of Mahi Mahi Tostadas with Crunchy Apple Slaw and Creamy Avocado Cilantro Sauce. This is a quick and easy recipe to make, but is impressive in presentation and taste!   The sweetness of the green apples is a surprising contrast to the spicy Lime Cilantro Sauce while the Avocado Cilantro Sauce adds just the right bite at the end.  This recipe contains the following Saucy Mama products:

The finished product...

To assemble the mini tostadas simply add a spoonful of fish into the won-ton, then add a spoonful of the slaw.  Top with a bit of Creamy Avocado Cilantro Sauce.  Serve with Spicy Spanish Rice and a lime wedge.  Not only is this recipe easy, but it's a super party pleaser that is beautiful to look at, easy to eat and full of bright and fresh flavors. It is also very adaptable.  Add a bit of sesame seed, some ginger, a few dashes of sriracha and soy and suddenly it has a spicy Asian twist.
