Fiesta Salad

It's getting hot out there, so I figured now is a good time to post a cool Summer friendly dish. This Fiesta Salad is great to serve as a side at home or the perfect item to bring to a cookout, picnic, or other gathering. The ingredients are most likely in your kitchen already and you can always change it up to use what you've got around (add in some peppers or tomatoes like I decided to do last minute)! It's healthy, colorful, and most importantly full of delicious flavor.
