FIESTA SALAD

Growing up in Dallas TX this was the best thing on the public school menu. The lines would be out the door with kids trying to get it. I learned to make it at home and my family has been loving it for decades.

MEXICAN FIESTA SALAD

Mexican Fiesta Salad image

"I was making a Mexican themed dinner one night last summer, and figured I'd make a salad with the fresh produce I had. I threw in anything that reminded me of Mexican food. Thankfully, it turned out, and the combination of salsa and ranch dressing is one we now use on sandwiches burgers and more, " writes Heather Byers from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
