LAYERED MEXICAN SALAD



Layered Mexican Salad image

This is a delightful salad and the dressing is made with an avocado base, sour cream, green chilies, milk and minced garlic. It adds a zesty flavor without being too spicy for those who don't care for overpowering spicy taste. Cooking time is the chill time (2-24 hours)

MEXICAN FRUIT SALAD



Mexican Fruit Salad image

I got this recipe from my Spanish teacher in high school after a class party. It is so versatile & simple. You can use any fruit, I usually use apples, oranges/tangerines & bananas since that is usually what I have on hand. The measurements for fruit is about 4 cups chopped fruit, use less if you like more sauce, add more fruit if you want it a little thicker. You can add more fruit just before serving too. Prep time includes refrigeration time.
