Chunks of avocado, tomato, red and green peppers, and plenty of cilantro give flavor to this refreshing and colorful salad, and jalapeno peppers give it a hint of heat. Dressing is just a simple squeeze of lime juice.

SAUCY SALSA SALAD DRESSING

Saucy Salsa Salad Dressing image

This is just plain good! Pour this low fat dressing over taco salad, omelets, nachos, sliced avocado, enchiladas, grilled chicken, or use as a dip for vegetables or tortilla chips. Spicy, with just a hint of sweetness! I love it! Very easy to make, but NOT short on taste! I think this would also make a great dressing for a corn or black bean salad! Anyone up for experimenting?
