Saw a few recipes called for this dressing and that it wasn't posted on this site. Nice easy southwest dressing for salads. Used it on our last camping trip; it was quick and easy to prepare in our trailer.

MEXICAN FIESTA SALAD

Mexican Fiesta Salad image

"I was making a Mexican themed dinner one night last summer, and figured I'd make a salad with the fresh produce I had. I threw in anything that reminded me of Mexican food. Thankfully, it turned out, and the combination of salsa and ranch dressing is one we now use on sandwiches burgers and more, " writes Heather Byers from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
