Fajita Garden Salad Recipe

For this recipe, you will  not need a Fajita seasoned meat. That is right, the recipe can be made meatless. I came up with this recipe after having Steak Fajita leftovers from our favorite restaurant.  If you don’t have left-overs no worries because it is super easy to stir fry or grill fresh fajita steak or chicken.
