This is another dish that Heather loves! This salad has everything in it that’s good for you! It’s great as a meal after a hard work out at the gym, or just when you are craving something with a little bit of heat! Chipotle powder is also one of my favorite spices! It is sweet, smoky and spicy and works well with all kinds of meat. Click here to get some for yourself from Amazon!
This salad can be made in larger batches if you like and kept for a couple of days. I find that after the flavors have marinated for a day the salad tastes even better.
