Layered with taco-style ingredients, this colourful salad is bursting with fresh market vegetables. Sturdier lettuce, such as iceberg, romaine or leaf, is best here. No tostadas? Use handfuls of tortilla chips or broken taco shells. If desired, garnish with spoonfuls of sour cream or plain yogurt and lime wedges.
