With the warmer weather, lighter dinners are the preferred meal around our house . . . especially as we try to whittle away a few pounds before donning shorts!

Mexican Chopped Salad  008

This main-dish salad has a great combination of tastes, sweet, tart, salty, with a bit of a bite.

Mexican Chopped Salad 004

I’m still typing very slowly and very little as I TRY to rest the broken wrist. We are also still eating quickly prepared food because chopping is hard. Looking at my own pictures I can hardly wait to get back to spending a little more time in the kitchen and cooking THIS salad, as it really is delicious!

Blessings,
