Julie's Mexican Salad Inspiration image

This is a layer salad. Just add the ingredients as listed and then toss at the table. I tend to change things up based on the ingredients I have in the house so the ingredients can vary. I use whatever lettuce, cheese, and beans I happen to have on hand. I could eat this salad every day and not get tired of it! You may want to reserve some of the dressing for individuals to add as desired.

This salad is so versatile! I've made it with different types of beans, corn, and vegetables. It's always delicious.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I used parsley instead. It was still delicious! I also added some chopped cucumber for extra crunch.

This is a great salad for a hot summer day. It's light and refreshing, and the avocado adds a creamy richness. I'll definitely be making this again.

I made this salad for a party and it was a huge success. Everyone loved it! I used a store-bought dressing, but I think it would be even better with a homemade one.

This salad was so easy to make and so delicious! I used canned black beans and corn, and I added some chopped red bell pepper for extra color. It was a perfect light lunch.

I'm not usually a fan of Mexican food, but this salad changed my mind. The combination of flavors and textures was amazing. I especially loved the crispy tortilla strips.

This salad was a hit at my last potluck! I used fresh, ripe tomatoes and avocados, and the cilantro and lime dressing added a great pop of flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.
