Pretty! Healthy! Super Easy! And Super Tasty?!? Sign me up. Y'all this salad hits all the right notes for me and hopefully for you too. While I went with a Mexican-Themed salad, the principle is the same for any type of salad you may want to put together. Here's what I did for this particular recipe, and below that, I'm sharing a few other fun recipe combos you could try. The sky is the limit with a layered salad! Just get a glass bowl and go!! :-)
MEXICAN LAYERED SALAD
Prep and chop the following ingredients...
3-4 cups romaine lettuce
3 cups iceberg lettuce
2 cups red cabbage
1 large red bell pepper
1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernals - rinsed and thawed
1-1 1/2 cups green onions - sliced
1 can black beans - rinsed and drained
1 1/2 cups cucumber - thinly sliced
1 pint grape/cherub tomatoes - quartered
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (fresh shredded cheese is best!)
1/2 cup cilantro
In a large glass trifle dish (or glass bowl) begin layering the elements starting with the lettuces and working down the list. Be sure to press the ingredients down as you go. And be sure to concentrate on getting a nice layer along the edge so each element can be seen.
SOUR CREAM AVOCADO DRESSING -
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup guacamole (I used pre-made)
1 T fresh lime juice
2-3 T fresh cilantro - chopped
1-2 tsp taco seasoning
1 tsp cumin
Mix all ingredients together and ENJOY!
OTHER LAYERED SALAD IDEAS -
COBB SALAD - Lettuces, cooked and cubed chicken, blue cheese crumbles, chopped bacon, chopped hard-boiled egg, diced tomatoes, and serve with blue cheese or ranch dressing. Optional...add some shredded carrot for health and color.
NICOISE SALAD - Lettuces, tuna, diced tomatoes, cooked & cubed potatoes, chopped hard-boiled egg, blanched & chopped green beans, thin-sliced radish, and kalamata/nicoise olives.
CHICKEN SALAD - Lettuces, prepared chicken salad (the kind with mayo), green onion, chopped celery, shredded carrot, and red grapes - sliced.
There are so many possibilities! Please comment if you have your own fun spin on a layered salad. I'd love to hear from you!!!
