If I don't have any tostada shells on hand for this speedy salad, I just heat taco shells, break them in half and lay them flat on the plates. It works just as well. Great Southwest flavor! -Edie DeSpain, Logan, Utah

MEXICAN TOSTADA SALAD

Layered with taco-style ingredients, this colorful salad is bursting with fresh market vegetables. Sturdier lettuce, suce as iceburg, romaine or leaf, is the best here. No tostada?? Use handfuls of tortilla chips or broken taco shells. If desired, garnish with spoonfuls of sour cream or plain yogurt and lime wedges.
