mexican chopped salad with honey lime dressing









Despite the fact I used up all of the cilantro the day before making this salad, it's a wonderful salad and I am sure the cilantro would've only added to it tremendously.  I really enjoyed the salad dressing. Next time I will add some shredded chicken for some protein.
