Tex Mex Salad
For a simply delicious lunch or dinner (or side salad) that you can whip up in under 30 minutes, try this Tex Mex Salad. You can serve it with shrimp, chicken or fish and it’s tasty with or without a salad dressing. When I make this recipe, I usually never measure the ingredients — I add and plate what I know will work for my family and I taste test along the way in case I want more spices. Enjoy! – Maryann
