Mom's Salad, Mexican

By: Linda Bailey

Description

This is a mix that you can keep in refrigerator 3 to 4 days and just add on top of Romaine & Spinach
Makes a great lunch
Makes about 5 Cups

Ingredients

Yellow squash
Zucchini
Romaine tomato
Red Onion
Black Olives
Jar Roasted Red Peppers
Dark Red Kidney Beans
Can of Green Chili
Avocado,optional
Shredded cheese optional


Directions

1/2 small squash each,Chop yellow and zucchini squash into small pieces, (I chop slices twice both ways)

1or2 tomatoes,Chop into 1/2 in. pieces

1 slice red onion thinly cut and chopped

1/2 C, black olives cut in half

Roasted Red Peppers,two or three pieces chopped small

1 Can Dark Red Kidney Beans,washed and drained

1 Can green chili

Mix all together except avocado and store in container in refrigerator

We like to use about 1/2 cup to 1 cup on top of Romaine and Spinach which we keep cut up in another container.

It will only last for about 3 to 4 days before the lettuce goes bad

I like using a little ranch mixed in with a couple T of salsa but try your own idea of dressing.

Shredded cheese is optional,but don't add it or avocado to the mix.

Avocado Slice chunks right on your salad, just cut off what you need from avocado each day,then wrap the rest still in avocado shell,in plastic wrap.
