Pork-Filled Perfection

Transform last night’s barbecue leftovers into a mouthwatering Chipotle Lime Carnitas Salad, packed with peppers, corn, lettuce, avocado, and cilantro-lime rice. Alternatively, use shredded chicken from a rotisserie chicken for a protein-packed twist.

Street Corn Sensation

Indulge in the simplicity of our Mexican Street Corn Salad, bursting with corn, black beans, pepper, onion, lime, and cotija (or feta). Top it off with a zesty Greek yogurt, lime juice, and honey dressing for a truly unforgettable flavor experience.

Underrated Veggies Take Center Stage

The Chopped Kale and Pepitas Salad is a game-changer, featuring a medley of underappreciated veggies like butternut squash, radishes, and broccoli slaw. Cotija, cilantro, and a roasted poblano ranch dressing add a bold Mexican flair, while dried cranberries and pepitas provide a delightful textural contrast.

Summer Cookouts Just Got a Whole Lot Better

Charred zucchini, crunchy sweet corn, and jalapeño peppers come together in perfect harmony in our Charred Zucchini Sweet Corn Salad. Serve it alongside grilled chicken or fish, or enjoy it solo with a big spoon – either way, it’s a winner!

Vibrant Quinoa Delight

The Mexican Quinoa Salad With Lime Dressing is a feast for the eyes and taste buds, featuring orange slices, leafy greens, quinoa, black beans, and avocado. This colorful bowl is sure to become a summer staple.

Marinated Magic

Our Orange Chili Lime Chicken Salad is simplicity at its finest. Marinate chicken in lime juice, olive oil, and spices, then cook and slice before adding to a bowl with your favorite veggies. Top it off with a mango salsa for an unbeatable flavor combination.

Taco Tuesday Just Got a Healthy Makeover

Trick your taste buds into thinking you’re eating tacos with our Spicy Turkey Taco Lettuce Wraps. Scoop spicy ground turkey onto sturdy romaine leaves, then add onion, tomato, cheese, and your favorite hot sauce for a guilt-free treat.

Rainbow Salad Goals

The Jalapeño Shrimp Taco Salad is a visual masterpiece, featuring a vibrant medley of purple cabbage, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, corn, and avocado. Make things easy by using pre-cooked, peeled, and deveined shrimp for a quick and delicious meal.

Vegan Vibes

Last but not least, our Vegan Mexican Chopped Salad proves that Mexican cuisine can be just as delicious without the cheese. This creamy, avo-based dressing and protein-packed black beans make it a must-try for vegans and non-vegans alike.
