In a lot of ways, this salad was reminiscent of this Mexican salad I love, minus a few crucial ingredients. Keeping with the theme of the night, I kind of made up a dressing as well. My approximate measurements are below, but it's definitely a recipe that you can play with and adjust to your liking. I post this meal more than anything to prove to you that delicious, healthy meals can be thrown together with a little creativity....and it's absolutely a better choice than McDonalds!
