Julie's Mexican Salad Inspiration

Julie's Mexican Salad Inspiration

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.

Salad

  • 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

Directions

Step 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.

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.
