I hope everyone had a great Easter! I needed a good veggie salad after all of the indulging at my mama’s house, so I made this easy salad. It takes all of 10 minutes to throw together!
It also has jalapeños, red onion, cilantro and other seasonings. Don’t let the jalapeños scare you off, though… this salad’s not hot at all.
I ate this salad as a meal, but it’s a perfect side dish that’s satisfying but not too heavy. It would also be great served on top of grilled fish!

May 28, 2017 at 7:36 amHi, Allison! It can be but I personally think it’s better served fresh. I would add the chopped cilantro right before serving. Hope you enjoy! 🙂
