Salad Inspired By A Trip To Puerto Vallarta, Baja California, Mexico
When I went to Puerto Vallarta, I had an absolutely delicious zucchini mushroom salad.
The entire Mexican vacation was filled with good food, but that simple salad was a stand out.
During the trip, I had everything from complex gourmet meals to simple dishes.
This is one of the simple ones, and the fresh ingredients are what makes it wonderful.
We had this salad at a relaxing picnic after spending the day exploring the countryside away from the main tourist areas.
Of course, I had to try to recreate the recipe at home.
This recipe is not exactly like the one I ate in Mexico, but I think it’s pretty close.
The salad always brings back memories, when I make it.
I especially like to serve it on warm Summer evenings, so we can eat outdoors like I did the first time I had it in Mexico.
