ThisMexican salad is a great side dish to any Mexican meal or summer barbecue. It's fresh and flavorful made with chopped romaine, beans, veggies, avocado and a cilantro lime dressing!
The first step will be to chop lettuce, tomatoes, onion and avocado. Drain and rinse the corn and black beans. Set aside to dry.
Add lettuce to a large bowl. Then layer the vegetables, corn and black beans on top. Add the tortilla strips and optional toppings.
Pour the desired dressing over the bowl of salad and toss until coated. This salad is served best cold.
Notes
Meat: Feel free to add grilled chicken, grilled flank steak or taco meat on top for more protein. Corn: I love to use grilled corn for this recipe if I have time.Tortilla strips: We love to use crushed restaurant style tortillas chips. You can also make your own homemade tortilla strips or tortilla chips. Chipotle dressing: This recipe has been updated, but here is the original chipotle dressing recipe. Combine all the ingredients in a blender until smooth.
