A Healthier Salad out

One of the joys of Northern California living is the ability to have lunch outside in January. The salad pictured here contained black beans, lettuce, corn, peppers and tomatoes. I had to ask carefully when ordering, and I sent it back when it came with items I didn't know would be included. Instead of dressing I opted for a mix of mild and spicy salsas, also pictured. My dining companion had the salad as written on the menu, with dressing, chicken, avocado, cotija cheese and tortilla chips. I reckon I saved a few calories and enjoyed my lunch just as much.
