So many people have raved about the tasty Kit Carson salad served at Pecos Bill Cafe in the MK. Last year (exactly) I tried it myself and took notes. Well, I finally found the note to myself and put this recipe together. Try it and see what you think. Enjoy!

Sounds good! I particularly like the lime dressing idea. My husband loves lime flavoring so this should be a hit.
