Mexican Salad with Lime Dressing
This is an easy, excellent chopped Mexican salad. Mexican salads have a way of reviving your taste buds with all of the fresh lime juice and cilantro. You can change up the ingredients and make this salad your own; like adding carrots instead of snap peas if you don't have them in the fridge. P.S. If you aren't a fan of cilantro, you can use parsley instead, but make sure to use lemon juice in the dressing instead of lime. As a rule of thumb, lime goes well with cilantro and lemon works well with parsley.
