Refreshing cucumber, garlic and jalapeno pepper give this entree salad its flair. I like to heat up the tangy ginger-lime dressing a bit before tossing it with the greens.

Easy and surprising. I was unsure what to expect but my family said it was a very good change. Quality meat is key; don't skimp. I did double the meat because my men scream for protein.
