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 (and if you don’t like cilantro, keep reading!). I discovered this salad through my cousin’s wife, Alla, on our recent trip to WA. I couldn’t wait to make the salad when we got home. You know, the same thing happened last year when we visited WA; I posted a whole stream of lovely dishes shared by my relatives. Maybe I should travel more often? ;)
I love that 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. This salad is going into the regular rotation at our house! I love the cilantro in it. I think it adds an amazing freshness and complements the lime dressing perfectly.
P.S. Here’s a great tip from Alla: 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. Thank you Alla for sharing your delicious recipes with us! :)
