I love veggies so I add a whole bunch of just about everything. I used red, yellow, and orange-red bell peppers, tomato, red onion, romaine lettuce, black beans, corn, cilantro, and scallions.
If your the type of person that doesn’t like veggies so much, you can play around with the combination to suit your taste.
Recently I started preparing a big batch of everything (marinated chicken, cooked rice, diced salad) and leaving it in the fridge.
Whenever we are hungry I just throw some chicken on the grill and arrange it on some rice and top with the salad. It’s a great way for moms to prepare a healthier meal.

I guarantee they are going to become a dinner favorite AND they are fabulous for entertaining too (burrito bar anyone?)
