Mexican Flavors Salad
This is such a refreshing salad. The lime is bright and cuts the strength of the garlic and augments the earthy flavors of the cumin in the simple dressing. Adding your protein of choice makes this a quick and easy meal. You can easily customize the ingredients to make it vegetarian and/or dairy free.
