This is Carne asado, an asada-style taco salad made with cauliflower.

The basic ingredients are chicken, avocado, red onion, cilantro, and a splash of lime juice.

The avocado is a great source of vitamins and minerals, as well as vitamin E and vitamin B12.

I like to add a little extra lime juice to the salad to make it a little richer.

This salad is a perfect appetizer for any date night, and it’s great to serve with rice, quinoa, and avocado.

This simple, easy-to-prepare salad is super easy to make, and can easily be made in less than 30 minutes.
