This salad is everything you love about fajitas, in a healthier form. Healthy eating is all about finding a balance of healthier habits in your life. I promise, it’s okay to indulge now again, but you can also learn that a delicious salad can be an indulgence as well.
I even have a beef version from back in 2014 if you’d like to check it out. It uses steak for a hearty salad experience.
The dressing for this salad is low fat and low sugar. I give you the option of doubling the sugar in the recipe which is good for people who are new to this kind of eating. You can also use sugar substitutes in place of the brown sugar. Honey and stevia are great options.
