Cinco de Mayo is celebrated throughout the US on May 5^th. According to Wikipedia, “It originated with Mexican-American communities in the American West as a way to commemorate the cause of freedom and democracy during the first years of the American Civil War, and today the date is observed in the United States as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride.”

Americans love to celebrate, so even if you are not of Mexican descent, join the fun with a kidney-friendly Mexican meal. DaVita dietitians have gathered some of their favorite DaVita.com recipes for ideas on what to serve at your Cinco de Mayo celebration.
