shredded cabbage is pretty traditional. i always liked a citrus medallion salad as it also lends a cooling effect if food is spicy hot. a light cumin dressing is good.

Rick Bayless has a whole chapter on Mexican inspired salads in "Mexican Everyday". Our favorite is the chayote salad. My wife wants it at least once a week. We use a bottled balsamic vinaigrette, so there are only 4 ingredients to prep.

I also was going to suggest a salad using a cilantro lime vinaigrette! I'd use some romaine lettuce (chopped like for a chopped salad), thin sliced radishes, raw carrots, queso fresco and some charred corn. Some fried tortilla crisps could be added at the end to act as the croutons.

A Mexican chopped salad with Lime & Cilantro Dressing might work well.

Here's another nice ceviche, on this site: "Classic Tex Mex Ceviche"

Ceviche is a nice change but depends on whether it fits with the rest of your menu. Here's an easy Shrimp & Avocado Ceviche from Martha Stewart:

You could also add about 1/2 cup chopped cilantro and a little crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese.

If you don't have ripe avocados, you could sub some peeled, seeded cucumber chunks. Jicama might also be a good sub.
