• Wow, Erin, this salad is soooo good. Doesn’t seem like anything too out of the ordinary when you’re looking at the ingredients but there’s something about how it all comes together that makes it absolutely delicious. Maybe it’s the dressing, or the spices on the sweet potatoes, I don’t know, but what I do know is that I’ll be making this salad regularly from this point forward! Thanks for another great recipe!5 stars

  • Hi –

    I’m making this tonight for dinner and it looks and sounds delicious.
    The avocado is mentioned several times and it’s visible in the picture but it’s not on the ingredients list. Just a mention because now I’m going to have to run back to the grocery store before I cook.

  • Hello! We will be dining with guests tonight and one guest cannot have garlic, garlic salt, or garlic powder. Do you think this dressing will be just as good without it? 😬🤷‍♀️

    1. Hi Erin! It will change the flavor a bit, but I think it would still be tasty. I hope you enjoyed it!

  • We made this Mexican salad for a family birthday dinner and it was a hit! We will definitely be making this salad often. Thanks for the recipe!5 stars

    1. Hi Elizabeth! I stopped including sodium info because it can vary so much depending upon what products you used, and I found a lot of conflicting info online, so ultimately I didn’t feel comfortable publishing it because sometimes it wasn’t even in the ballpark. If you’d like to calculate it yourself, there are lots of free tools online (myfitnesspal.com is popular). I hope that helps!

  • Wow, this was delicious! The dressing is just amazing and used a bit of leftover for a plain salad the next day and it bought it to another level.
    I’m not a lover of feta so I used Wensleydale with cranberries cut into small chunks and it worked beautifully adding another pop of flavour and colour (not that it needed either of course). I also don’t like sweet potato, but thought I’d go with it and boy are they amazing; the spices used worked perfectly! Superb recipe I will definitely be doing again and again, thank you!5 stars

  • Colorful and tasty! Love the dressing! Definitely going to double/triple it next time. Also the crunch from the pepitas is a wonderful touch. I served it with spicy chicken wings and bought good tortilla chips to go with it.5 stars

  • We absolutely loved this Mexican Salad. Fresh, delicious, and packed with flavor. It’s a refreshing and satisfying salad that we can’t get enough of! We had it with marinated grilled chicken for a complete meal.5 stars

  • I served this at a Mexican themed party yesterday and I doubled the recipe. Your salad recipes are delicious…every single one of them! I served this one with some homemade enchiladas, and it was the star of the meal!5 stars

  • This recipe made me realize I don’t eat enough sweet potatoes. They were so good in the salad and paired perfectly with the beans. I think I’ll try adding a little corn next time to make it even more colorful. The dressing was creamy but still light. I could definitely see myself making this again.5 stars

  • Hi Erin,
    I want to try this but I cannot abide sweet potatoes in any form. Can I use regular potatoes? Squash?

    Thank you

  • This salad was super colorful and tasted just as good as it looked. The crunch from the pepitas was my favorite part, and the dressing tied it all together nicely. I didn’t have radishes on hand, so I skipped them, but it still worked out fine.5 stars
