Southwestern Salad
Nothing like a cool crisp salad to cool you down on a hot summer evening. There is something for everyone in this Southwestern Salad. So hearty, all you need is a side of meat to complete your meal.
I love the smokey grilled corn, black beans and the creamy avocado. This Southwestern Salad is definitely a salad I will have throughout the summer. Perfect for those summer days by the pool.
