Recipe :: Easy and Healthy Mexican Salad Bar
One of my favorite meals is a really delicious salad. In fact, most days I could just eat a salad, but with all the trimmings! Though some days I am in the mood for something hearty (like meatloaf) – but that’s another recipe post! My two favorite salads are Nicose and Mexican-style salads.
