Mexican Salad

My husband made this delicious salad for me because I have been missing Mexican food so much. It is now one of my favorite meals! He sure is a blessing to me!






Peter's recipe:


Meat:
1lb lean ground beef or turkey
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon oregano  
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cumin 
1 teaspoon seas salt
1 teaspoon pepper
Cilantro

When choosing your spices always check the indigence and make sure there isn't any sugar or other foreign items you don't recognize.


Brown the meat in a skillet. Add garlic powder, onion powder, teaspoon cayenne pepper, oregano, paprika, cumin, sea salt,  pepper. Add cilantro to meat when finished cooking.

Salsa:

About 4 or 5 roma tomatoes
Small white onion chopped
Cilantro
1 lemon squeezed
1 lime squeezed
Garlic powder to taste
Sea salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Cayenne pepper to taste

The salsa always turns out different depending on the taste of the tomatoes,etc. So my husband never uses an exact measurement. Since we can't use sugar to cut down on the acid, sometimes the acidity is a little strong. It helps me to drink a cold glass of unsweetened coconut/almond milk to cut down on the spice. You could also choose just almond milk or whatever you prefer. I find it very satisfying with the coconut/almond milk!

Combining:

I put a bed of healthy lettuce on a plate (I buy an organic spring mix of red and green romaine, red and green oak leaf, red leaf, lollo rosa, Tango, Mizuna, Red and green chard, baby spinach, arugula, Frisee, Radicchio.)  I add about 3 large spoonfuls of the meat then top it with the salsa!

I store everything in separate containers and have it everyday for about a week! Just delicious!
