colorful vegetables tossed with a Mexican inspired dressing
This fresh salad is inspired by the flavors of Mexico with its cumin, coriander and cilantro spices/herbs. It is one of my favorite recipes to pair with any Mexican inspired dish from enchiladas to tacos. It is also incredibly easy to make. Simply dice up the vegetables and whisk up the dressing and mix it all together!
Quick. Healthy. Easy. Delicious. There’s not much more you could ask for.
