Organic Fiesta Salad

When I think of eating organic, my first thought is a salad. Not simply because organic vegetables are more nutritious. but because they taste better, too. I just want to eat a big plate of delicious organic greens and know I’m making my taste buds and body happy. This Organic Fiesta Salad is simple, but showcases the strong flavors of the ingredients. The soft black beans and creamy avocado are a welcome contrast to the crisp greens and tangy citrus of the lime. The generous portion will keep you full and satisfied, all under 300 calories!

This budget friendly meal comes out to just $1.99 a person, or a total of $7.94 for a family of four. Now, I may be a lover of salads and veggies, but I understand children may not be. You can make this salad a bit more kid friendly with some extra additions. Plain organic greek yogurt, pico de gallo, tortilla chips, cheese, and even chicken or taco meat would all go well with this fiesta salad. You could also opt to skip the salad and turn this recipe into a cheeseless quesadilla. I did this for my son when he was showing a dairy sensitivity, and it was always a hit. I’ve included this in the printable recipe below as well.  The cost of swapping lettuce for organic tortillas is virtually non-existent.

Here is an itemized list of the costs:

  • $3.49 Organic Spring Mix from Sprouts on sale for buy one get 1 free.
  • $1.76 Haas Avocados from Sprouts for $0.88 each. Part of the clean 15.
  • $2.00 Westbrae Organic canned black beans in BPA free can. On sale at Sprouts for 2/$5
  • $0.69 Organic lime from Vons, on sale.

If you choose to make the Cheeseless Fiesta Quesadilla instead, for 2 kids, the costs break down like this:

  • $1.74 Organic Spring Mix from Sprouts on sale for buy one get 1 free.
  • $1.76 La Tortilla Factory Organic, Non-GMO Traditional Tortillas, Burrito Size
  • $1.76 Haas Avocados from Sprouts for $0.88 each. Part of the clean 15.
  • $2.00 Westbrae Organic canned black beans in BPA free can. On sale at Sprouts for 2/$5
  • $0.69 Organic lime from Vons, on sale.
