Does anyone have an authentic recipe for a Mexican salad that they have prepared and loved.?

I've never really seen a mexican salad, like we think of a salad. Ensalada - Mexican salads, are usually more like fresh vegetables served cold in a dressing or pickled. Here are a few I like:

Authentic mexican salads are made with shredded lettuce or raw cabagge, thin sliced onion and tomatoe, we eat most of our veggies cooked.
