| Southwestern Salad |
I love Southwestern flavors and this salad combines them all. It is so fresh and satisfying you can turn it into a delicious meal. The recipe is vegetarian, however I love topping it with grilled chicken spiced with Mexican spices. It is a great side dish when you're making quesadillas or tacos.
