My Favorite Salad

This is one of my all time favorite salads so I decided to share the recipe. The secret to this salad is the dressing. It's a homemade version of Cafe' Rio's it's not exact but its yummy!

Dressing

1~2 cloves of garlic

1 jalapeno {I take the seeds out but you can add them if you like it spicy}

2 green onions

1/2 bunch of cilantro

3 tomatillos

Blend above ingredients in a blender or food processor. Then add

2 cups mayonnaise

2 cups sour cream

1 package of Hidden Valley Buttermilk Ranch & the juice from 1 lime

continue to blend until smooth. This can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.

Salad

2 bunches of romaine or green leaf lettuce chopped

1 can of corn

1 can of black beans rinsed and drained

grated cheese

tortilla chips crushed and sprinkled on salad

Rotisserie chicken {we buy ours from Costco and just pull pieces off or shred to put on salad}

the following ingredients are optional

salsa

tomatoes

guacamole

olives

Just put everything you like on a plate and then top generously with the salad dressing! Another option is to buy the tortillas from costco that you cook at home and then make your salad on top of that. I'm still working on different versions of the dressing, if you have one you use that you love or think it tastes more like Cafe' Rio's I would love to hear it. Try this one soon and let me know what you think!

I'm not very good at the plate presentation, so once I put the dressing on it looked like this......You get the idea!
