This Mexican Mozzarella Salad is one of my favorite quick weeknight dinners, and honestly, it comes together in just 15 minutes with zero cooking required. I love throwing it together because it's so simple and budget friendly, using pantry staples like canned black beans and tortilla chips. The black beans are packed with fiber and protein, making this salad actually filling and nutritious. Just toss everything together with that lime vinaigrette, top it with crispy chips for crunch, and you've got a vibrant, satisfying meal that tastes like you spent way more time on it than you actually did.
