Does anyone have an authentic recipe for a Mexican salad that they have prepared and loved.?

Answer 1

I've never really seen a mexican salad, like we think of a salad. Ensalada - Mexican salads, are usually more like fresh vegetables served cold in a dressing or pickled. Here are a few I like:
Nopalitos http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/qa/mexicansaladsrecipes.htm
Escabeche
