Marinated Vegetable Salad with Queso Fresco

This vibrant side salad lends itself to improvisation. Start with our basics, including tomatoes, zucchini, jicama, black beans, and queso fresco with a salsa vinaigrette. From there, you might add sliced olives, corn, diced avocado, or radishes. It's great with grilled chicken.
