A 7-Day Meal Plan Starring Salsa

Updated: Apr. 23, 2022

Salsa can be used with more than just tortilla chips. Make a large batch of this roasted tomato salsa on Sunday to use in a few dinners throughout the week. (This recipe makes 8 cups, so you won’t even need to double it!)

Sunday: Roasted Tomato Salsa

Our family’s all-time favorite salsa, this recipe is the reason we grow a huge garden every summer. We make gallons of it and share with our neighbors. You might find yourself eating it right out of the bowl with a spoon. —Donna Kelly, Orem, Utah

Monday: Chicken Ole Foil Supper

These Mexi-style chicken packets can be assembled ahead and frozen if you like. Just thaw them overnight in the fridge, then grill as directed. I like to serve them with warm tortillas and fresh fruit on the side. —Mary Peck, Salina, Kansas

Saturday: Sheet-Pan Pork Supper

I created this pork tenderloin sheet-pan dinner to suit our family’s needs. It’s so quick and easy to clean up since you use one pan for everything! Use any variety of small potatoes—fingerlings or other colored potatoes are a fun and delicious option. —Debbie Johnson, Centertown, Missouri
