1/2 avocado, diced
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

Tex-Mex Summer Salad

Chop & Mix greens:
  • 1 head of romaine lettuce, chopped
  • bok choy (2 baby or 1 regular), chopped
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped
  • 1 seeded jalapeño or 2 seeded serrano peppers, chopped (optional)
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
If you are making some for today, and some to save for tomorrow, keep the greens separate from the rest of the ingredients to keep the salad from becoming soggy.

Add:
  • 1 can black beans
  • 1 can sweet corn
  • 5-6 tomatoes, chopped (roma or on the vine)
  • Juice of 1 lime squeezed over the salad once tossed 
  • Add grilled chicken if you wish.  Dress with salt & pepper, Garlic Cholula hot sauce and a splash of ranch.  Yum!
