Southwest Layered Salad
Originally found at Kraft Canada
6 cups torn romaine lettuce
1 can black beans, drained, rinsed
1 can corn, drained
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 cup cheese
1/4 cup ranch dressing
1 cup broken tortilla chips
Place lettuce on plate, followed by beans, corn, salsa, cheese, ranch dressing, and chips. Serve.
My Notes:
I finally found a kosher ranch dressing. I'm so excited. When I originally started this, I was thinking that there was no way I'd find a kosher ranch dressing, since my favorite varieties (mostly Hidden Valley) weren't kosher. So, I started trying other dressings (honey mustard became my favorite). But I was randomly shopping in the store the other day and found one with an OU certification.
At any rate, this salad actually tastes really good. I was skeptical, since I'm picky with textures and salsa on lettuce without some sort of meat didn't sound that appetizing, but it was good. The crunch with the tortilla chips was key, I think. This could be adapted to be pareve or meat, but I chose to just keep it dairy. I really need to branch out more.
