    Loaded with shredded romaine lettuce, freshly grated cheese, black beans, corn, guacamole, pico and spicy shrimp - it’s one of those complete meal salads that you’ll absolutely adore! Plus it’s healthy!! Well, for the most part, unless you sometimes pull a “gaby” and eat it with tortilla chips. Then the health factor kinda flies out the wind. #sorrynotsorry I’m just being honest 🙂

    You can serve it up with cilantro vinaigrette if you want too! I find that between the pico and the guac, I don't need an extra dressing... but I'm just covering your basis cause I love ya!

    1. this looks fantastic....but I am looking for the Mex Chop Salad recipe, not Cobb. Help?

    2. I don't like shrimp -- do you have another protein suggestion? Could you treat chicken or another meat the same way?
