Mexican Chopped Salad with Honey-Lime Dressing
Serves: 4
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Tortillas aren't the only depository for beans, corn and tomatoes. Let romaine lettuce do the job. Feta cheese supplies a dose of calcium and major flavor. And the honey-lime dressing adds just the right touch of tangy sweetness.
