You will have dinner on the table in minutes if you have the leftover meatballs found in this Mexican Meatball Pizza recipe. This salad is part two of a cook once, eat twice feature on the blog. You start by making the meatballs, then roll them over into this delicious salad. You can find the master grocery list and original post for this cook once eat twice meal here. A few notes-
- I used a creamy avocado poblano dressing I found in the salad area at the grocery store. You could also use ranch or sour cream with the sauce from the meatballs to dress it. Your choice!
- If you are not making this as a leftover meal use a bag of frozen meatballs warmed with your favorite jar of salsa, same idea, similar flavors.
