I am all about healthier meal options that taste amazing, but what I'm not all about are recipes that take forever to make. Because of that, I'm constantly coming up with my own concoctions, using whatever I have on-hand, that take minimal time and effort. This Tex-Mex Salad Recipe is exactly that - easy to make, time-efficient, and delicious! But my favorite part about this salad is that it's jam-packed with nutrients, making it a real power-house in your recipe book.
I used MorningStar Farms® Chipotle Black Bean Crumbles™ in this Tex-Mex salad and it really gave it the kick I was looking for.

Toss the vegetables with the spinach and top with the cooked MorningStar Farms® Chipotle Black Bean Crumbles™.
In a food processor, combine the greek yogurt, salsa, 1 tbsp of cilantro, and half an avocado. Mix until the ingredients combined into a smooth, dressing-like texture, then serve with the salad. Be sure to top your salad with a couple sprigs of cilantro for presentation and taste!
