Green Bean Salad with Sierra Brand Cotija Style Cheese from V&V Supremo

This post is sponsored by V&V Supremo. All opinions are my own.

I didn't know that Mexicans have a sprinkling cheese that is similar to Parmesan. Coming from an Italian backyard I love to sprinkle cheese on everything.

V&V Supremo's Sierra Brand Cotija Style Cheese has a bold flavor that really livens up refried beans, soups, tacos, tostadas, enchiladas, pasta and salad.  

I got this salad recipe off of V&V Supremo's website. Their site is filled with easy delicious recipes for each one of their products. This salad was a side dish with Paprika Chicken and I got as many compliments on the salad as I did the chicken. That is unheard of in my family... they noticed the vegetables because the cheese brought their attention to them! It was very exciting to see my kids take seconds of the salad.
