Southwest Salad

This is a recipe I got from one of Drew's aunts and we love it! It's a great, quick, summertime, weeknight meal that requires no cooking. We also eat it in the winter sometimes just because we love it so much.

Ingredients:

1 bag of lettuce (you can cut up your own but I'm a fan of the convenience of the bagged stuff.)
1 can of corn
1 can of black beans
1/2 c of salsa
1/2 c of ranch dressing
as much shredded cheddar or Mexican mix cheese as you want
1 chopped tomato
tortilla chips

Layer first three ingredients in a 9 x 13 casserole dish. Mix together salsa and ranch dressing and pour on top of lettuce mix. Top with cheese and tomato. Crush tortilla chips and put on top.

NOTE: We like to just put chips on the salad that we eat so they don't get soggy. You could cover the whole dish if you were taking it to a picnic or something.

Enjoy!

  1. Loved how easy this recipe was and how I didn't have to heat anything up!! I would like it a little spicier so I may try using a can of rotel (diced tomatoes & chilis) instead of fresh tomatoes on top next time. But, we LOVED it!!
