Clean Eating Fajita Salad Recipe

I don’t eat out all that much anymore. But when I do, I usually try to navigate my way into a Mexican restaurant so I can put this delicious salad together out of their typical fajita offerings.

I order the fajitas without the beans, rice, salsa (which often has added sugar) or tortillas. Then I order a side plate of lettuce.

But better still is when I make this at home. My lettuce is actually crisp and I know for sure my seasonings are exactly what I want to be eating.

This particular bowl was my mom’s dinner the other night. I had friends over for my first gathering at the new house and I served them fajitas while my mom had the salad, which she preferred. It’s a fabulous lower carb option and it’s still very filling! And if you eat low carb and need more fats, just load up on healthy, homemade guacamole!

I’m just wondering why I am sometimes forced to view your recipes now on eBay? I don’t care for having to go there to see them. The whole thing feels odd and I recommend your site to lots of people as I offer advice on clean eating.

  Brook S – I did some recipes for eBay and I’m sharing them here on my site, that’s all. There’s nothing shady going on. 🙂

This looks like the kind of dish I’ve been craving lately! I love that there’s no need for salad dressing – just some lime juice and guac. Simple yet delicious!

  CakePants – Absolutely!! I love simple flavors. Some people aren’t used to them, but once you do get used to them, nothing beats them! 😀
