Just over a month ago, our family was blessed to welcome in our third child. Adjusting to becoming a family of 5 has been so wonderful and now that we’re finally getting into a bit of a routine around here, I’m determined to start loosing this baby weight. Thankfully, my husband is on the same page with me and we’re in this together. In a few months, we’ll be celebrating our anniversary. By that date, we hope to have reached our weight loss goals.
Healthy eating can certainly become terribly boring, especially if you don’t intentionally try to make delicious recipes that don’t taste like “diet” food. This salad has become a new favorite of ours. It’s packed with tons of nutrients and the flavor profiles make it taste like a bistro-style salad. With the taco meat, black beans, corn, avocados and of course, the Cilantro-Lime Dressing, this salad is fabulous and totally satisfying.

    This looks really good. I like a new twist to a old favorite. This would also be great to bring to a buffet. Thanks for the recipe.

    Great food photos! I’ve discovered I really like cold basmati rice and even potato sometimes in my salads. Congrats on your new baby 🙂

      Thank you so much! Basamati rice and potato sound delicious. We sometimes put sweet potato in our salads and we love that. 🙂

    Looks like a great recipe. I plan to make more salads as meals in the summer as both my husband and I want to slim slim down.
