SALSA SALAD

Salsa Salad image

This is a fresh and delicious salad for lunch or a smaller version before supper. My DS and DIL omit the lettuce and use it as a side dish with grilled meats. I've brought it in a big bowl to parties and everyone raves.

Ingredients

romaine lettuce, torn into bite sized pieces
1 cup cooked black beans or 1 cup black-eyed peas (drain and rinse if using canned)

3 ears corn, cut off the cob
1 avocado, peeled and diced
2 tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup chopped sweet onion
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
your favorite vinaigrette (use your own recipe, or try Paul Newman's Family Recipe version, which is really mild and works well)
red pepper flakes
crushed tortilla chips (we use Red Hot Blues)
cooked chicken or beef, would be delicious on this salad for a nice summer main dish (optional)

Steps:

Place lettuce on salad plates.
Layer remaining ingredients on top of lettuce in the order given with the crushed chips on top.
