chopped saladThis weekend, our family went to a Mexican Fiesta party. I gotta say, not only were the food offerings delicious -- and plentiful! -- they were also healthy. From guacamole and veggies to slow-cooked beans with cilantro, there was something to satisfy every taste, and every nutritional need.

My favorite had to be the Mexican chopped salad with honey lime dressing. This salad had greens, chunks and color, color, color. Everything is fresh and the balanced ingredients are oozing nutrition.

Talk about a masterpiece: romaine, black beans, corn, tomato, avocado, jicama, radishes, red pepper, and a delectable dressing, complete with fresh garlic.


While enjoying the zingy flavors and the contrasting textures of this salad, you could almost forget that you were getting:
  • omega-3's
  • lycopene
  • vitamin C
  • protein
  • fiber
  • all the nutrition in greens
  • the cleansing benefits of radishes
  • and much, much more.

So get that cutting board -- or food processor -- ready; this chopped salad is in your future. Ole!
