Instructions

In a large bowl, toss together all the salad ingredients.
Combine all the dressing ingredients together in a jar or blender and shake/process until well-combined. Add additional salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
Pour the dressing over the salad to taste or serve on the side.

Notes

Serving Options: this makes a delicious main dish salad served with grilled chicken (on the side or chopped and added to the salad). Also, another delicious addition is crispy tortilla strips on top (think crouton, only Mexican salad style).
Versatile Ingredients: the ingredients for the salad (and really the dressing, too) are versatile. Play around with them to suit your tastes!
