Southwestern-style Salad

I use frozen Gardein veggie chicken strips pan-fried with Mexican seasoning, but any lean protein choice would do. I add in all the veggies in my fridge, so feel free to substitute with what you have on hand! For added “crunch” I add some leftover whole-grain tortilla chips for garnish. Such satisfaction from using up your leftovers!

Ingredients:
– 1 zucchini, sliced
– 1 avocado, chopped
– 1 red pepper, diced
– 1 mango, diced
– 1/2 red onion, minced
– 1 bunch cilantro, minced
– veggie chicken strips, pan fried with Mexican seasoning (I used Gardein brand veggie chicken strips)
– whole-grain tortilla chips to garnish

Dressing:
– juice from 1 line
– 1.5 Tbsp olive oil
– Salt & pepper

Enjoy!
