Mexican chopped salad with honey lemon sauce

This salad is one of the best cleaning dynamite salads. I basically pull anything out of the refrigerator, chop it up, and add it to the bowl. This is a great way to consume leftovers and make sure we are all eating a lot of veggies.

Honey lime vinaigrette also brings everything together perfectly. I’ve been making extra drizzles, in bowls, grilled chicken and even grilled veggies.

What makes this salad better is custom easy. Throw away excess vegetables, such as Bell peppers or radishes, swap mangoes for pineapples, or add your favorite protein to make it a hearty meal. It’s a side dish stacked in tacos, layered into burrito bowls or served directly with a fork!

How to Make Mexican Chopped Salad

Here’s how to make a chopped Mexican salad:

1. Make dressings

Whisk together lime juice, olive oil, honey, cumin, salt and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Tip: To make a smoother, slightly thicker dressing, shake everything in a mason jar or mix for a few seconds.

2. Prepare agricultural products

Chop the produce and rinse and drain the black beans.

3. Assemble salad

In a large bowl, layer the roman cheese lettuce with all the remaining salad ingredients. Drizzle the seasoning over the top or throw everything together before serving.

Tip: To prevent the avocado from browning, slice it thinly and add it before serving. If prepared in advance, store it separately.

Tips for making a chopped Mexican salad

• Use your favorite vegetables: In this salad, almost all vegetables are fair games. Add some chopped bell peppers, red cabbage, radish, carrots or any other favorites. The same goes for fruits. Although I prefer mango and jalapeno, the salad tastes great too.
• Protein boost: If you want to pack some extra protein, consider adding cooked chicken, Türkiye, steak or shrimp to your salad. You can also add some canned pinto beans or vegetable burgers for meatless options.
• Cheese Swap: If you can find Queso Fresco at the grocery store, that’s the perfect cheese for this salad. If not, you can use any soft or chopped cheese you like.
• Exchange greens: Although I prefer Roman hair, you can do this with any salad green. Try butter lettuce, arugula or massage kale.
• Add drizzle: Many Mexican salads include drizzle. Look for Mexican lemon flavor, basically pourable sour cream, and pour it over it.
• Make it spicy: Add some chopped jalapeno. You can also add some jalapeno, chili powder or chili powder to the seasoning.

What does this salad serve

Although this salad is hearty enough to cook alone, you can also add protein to bulk it. It can be placed directly on top of the salad or set aside.

• Taco Meat: Make this delicious grilled chicken taco meat. Serve it on a salad, or serve it on the side of these delicious tacos.
• Carne Asada: Carne Asada is another delicious Mexican dish that pairs with this Mexican salad.
• Barbecue Chicken: For simple choices, serve with the barbecue chicken.
• Adding cereals: You can also place it on a bed of brown rice or quinoa for a light and healthy rice.

Store chopped Mexican salad

The best of this salad is fresh, but will be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days without dressing. Store honey lime vinegar separately to make everything crisp. It is best to add avocado before serving.
