Mexican Salad

Few days back I had this type of salad in a Mexican Restaurant though it was not similar because it had mayo as a dressing.I really liked the texture and taste of the salad. It was so flavorful and colorful too.. :-D. But you can’t have such heavy mayo dressing salad every-time, right.!!

So here I have created my version of Mexican salad. This salad is so versatile, you can have it with anything, you can use it as a dip with Naachos, in a Taco filing, burritos literally anything.

It is a simple salad to whip up just throw in whatever veggies you like here. you can use any kind of beans like black beans . Here I have used kidney beans, mixed bell peppers, corn, onion, tomatoes.

Guys please do try this recipe it is really tasteful and I am sure you all will love this.!!
