This is a layer salad. Just add the ingredients as listed and then toss at the table. I tend to change things up based on the ingredients I have in the house so the ingredients can vary. I use whatever lettuce, cheese, and beans I happen to have on hand. I could eat this salad every day and not get tired of it! You may want to reserve some of the dressing for individuals to add as desired.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

Salad:

  • 1 head lettuce, chopped

  • 1 (10 ounce) can corn, drained

  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1 large tomato, chopped

  • 2 green onions, chopped

  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro

  • ¼ cup diced green bell pepper

  • 1 avocado, sliced

  • ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

  • ½ cup crushed tortilla chips

Dressing:

  • ½ cup salsa

  • ¼ cup ranch-style salad dressing

Directions

  1. Layer lettuce, corn, black beans, tomato, green onions, cilantro, green bell pepper, avocado, Cheddar cheese, and tortilla chips, in this order, in a serving bowl.

  2. Stir ranch-style dressing and salsa together in a bowl; pour over salad.

Cook's Note:

You can also make the dressing using sour cream and salsa. Freshly prepared Pico is also a good substitute for the tomato/onion/cilantro/pepper additions.
