Shrimp Fajita Salad


This is my all-time favorite salad. I made this to replicate the Chevy's Shrimp Fajita Salad. My mom and I would occasionally order take-out from Chevy's when we worked together and we would often get this dish when we did. I love serving this to company because it's so different than your usual salad and it looks so colorful and beautiful.
