It's crazy how when the weather changes, your cravings change! Right now, I could eat summer salads and drink aqua frescas all day! And with the kids out of school, they are craving all the fruit and refreshing food they can get their little hands on.
No one wants to be stuck inside the kitchen by a hot stove, so I love to make quick and easy kid friendly meals, so we can enjoy all our time this summer.I'm sharing a Tex-Mex Taco Salad with Avocado Vinaigrette and how I prepare 2 ways, so everyone is happy!
First off, I was happy t
o find these Tyson Panko Chicken Nuggets at the new Sam's Club in Southeast San Antonio. Our store just opened a few months ago and I love being able to buy in bulk. The bag of Tyson Panko chicken came with so much, and with the kids home all day, I know it's going to be very handy!Blend all ingredients together: 1 large avocado, juice 2 limes, cilantro to your liking, 2/3 cup of olive oil and 1/3 cup of white wine vinegar. Then, top your salad with a couple tablespoons.
The avocado makes this dressing so creamy, it can serve as a dip for tortilla chips, too!
For a quick salad, I use romaine lettuce add chopped cilantro, black beans, sweet corn, store prepared pico de gallo, our favorite salsa, our new favorite avocado vinaigrette and Tyson Panko Chicken nuggets. While the nuggets are baking in the oven, I warm a can of black beans, and frozen sweet corn. By the time the chicken is ready, dinner is completely served! A complete time saver for this working mama!
FYI: This salad is even good cold, my husband already asked if he could take the leftovers to work!
Hope you enjoy this kid-friendly summer meal soon!
Buen provecho!
