Spicy Southwest Chopped Salad with Salsa Verde Recipe
This spicy Southwest chopped salad with salsa verde recipe makes the best summer chopped salad I have ever made! You can adjust the amount of spice depending on your preference by adding more or less jalapeño and Cajun seasoning. The salsa verde makes a big enough batch to have more for dipping chips later. It is a great low-fat, all-in-one meal. This dish can also be topped with crushed tortilla chips if desired.
