Mexican Tostada Salad image

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.
