Happy Cinco de Mayo!
In honor of my favorite cuisine and second favorite food holiday (behind Thanksgiving, of course), I am sharing this lighter version of a classic taco salad.
This recipe is a quick and easy salad to throw together for any Cinco Celebration, pot luck or even dinner rotation for Meatless Monday. This will definitely be added to our weekly dinner rotation once baby girl arrives because of how quick and easy it is to make. Plus it’s easy to add or remove ingredients as you please each week. Next time, I’m adding avocado for some healthy fats!
