Cowboy Salad

What’s for dinner?  The dreaded question.

I am a busy mama.  It’s can be rough around here with meal planning.  But I refuse to give up and we do not eat fast food or processed food.  Here is a simple Cowboy Salad recipe that is a crowd pleaser and will save your sanity.  It can be used as a side to Taco Tuesday or Wednesday Quesadillas (just made that up! I know, it doesn’t rhyme.)  Or it can be a meal in itself.  Bonus: It is gluten-free and dairy free!
