Southwestern Salad

I love a good salad. I mean a GOOD salad. Not a salad with wilted ice-berg lettuce, dried shredded carrots and 1 cherry tomato. This is often the type of “salad” we get from a fast food or buffet restaurant and is the exact reason why so many people do not like salads! I have heard a similar story from so many of my nutrition coaching clients, friends and even Healthy Grocery Girl Nutrition Plan Members that once they eat a GOOD salad, it changes everything. They suddenly LIKE salads, crave them in fact! I am talking about a meal-worthy salad that has layers of flavor, texture and smells incredible. My southwestern salad is exactly that type of a salad, a GOOD salad. I know you’re going to love it and I am really, really excited for you to try it!
