In the last post I tackled the question “Does Eating Lots of Salads = Being a Healthy Eater?<\/a>” The answer is “Of course!” but only IF you weave a lot of diversity into into your salads. That’s why the next post shared “3 Diet Diversity Salads<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Summer bounty from my garden<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Since then, I’ve continued making lots of diversity salads since lettuce is one thing that is doing really well in my garden with this year’s cold spring. I also realized that since summer’s start, my food life has been pretty basic: salads, stir-fries and skillets. And you know what? That is A-OK for me — and for you, too!<\/p>\n

Summer has so many fun outdoor things to offer, so don’t feel badly if cooking takes a back seat. Meals don’t need to be fancy—as long as you meet five guidelines in The Simple Prescription for Good Eating<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With that said, here’s a simple Mexican Salad I’ve madeseveral times. As with most salads, you can swap out ingredients and make use up what you have, what you like and what adds diversity to your diet<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
