Fajita salad

This week's recipe is a delicious fajita salad. Here's what you need to get started.

Ingredients -

Fajita veggies (can be purchased ready to go, or slice up your own assorted bell peppers and onions. Good optional additions are tomatoes and cubed zucchini.)

Various spices (have fun with whatever sounds good to you - cayenne pepper, garlic, ground black pepper...)

3-4 generous squeezes of fresh lime or lemon juice

Chopped Romaine lettuce or salad mix

Salsa


Prep time -
This varies, but if using all pre-sliced veggies and salad mix, about 7 minutes.

Directions -
Heat frying pan to medium heat and add fajita veggies, stirring occasionally. Add citrus juice and spices to taste. Finish cooking veggies to desired tenderness. Place 3-4 handfuls of salad mix into bowl and top with about 1/2 cup cooked fajita veggies. Instead of using salad dressing just add in a little salsa as you enjoy.

Hint: this recipe is really a two-for-one because if you save the left over veggies in a microwaveable storage container, and pair with a cup of Ready to Eat Minute brown rice - lunch for work tomorrow is already done!

Hope you enjoy this simple and tasty twist on a salad. Let me know how yours turns out!
