Did you know that empanadas can be quite easy to make? Goya brand makes empanada pastries that you just fill with something (such as shredded chicken, mixed veggies, spicy beans, etc), fold up, and fry. It’s one of my family’s latest favorite meals, and I’m fond of how quick it is.
I made this salad to be an empanada receptacle, basically. I tore up my empanada over the greens. Guilty pleasure meets healthy virtue.
Empanada Salad
Ingredients for an individual salad:
- Handful of leaf lettuce
- Half an avocado, cubed
- A few slices of red onion
- 1 Roma tomato, chopped
- Several cilantro sprigs, chopped
- Lime juice and olive oil, to taste
- One empanada, any flavor
Toss the salad together with the lime juice and olive oil. Break the empanada into pieces and place on the salad. Alternatively, serve the salad alongside the empanada.
