Delicious and SUPER SIMPLE. Yum Yum Yum
Some corn, black beans, and pico-de-gallo…Yummy!
The mix of the lemon, chili powder, and olive oil is wonderful. Very easy to make. I doubled the garlic to zest it up a touch more. We broiled up some salmon to serve atop this salad (brushing a bit of dressing for its last minute of cooking). It was a fantastic taste combo!
Extremely flavorful! You can also put it in a wrap with steak, sliced almonds and ranch dressing. Yummy!!
This is a very fast and easy side for any meal. What’s cool is it can handle being simple or adding a couple more toppings you’re in the mood for and make it the main meal with a good crusty bread and a beer.
A different and easy salad dressing to accompany any meal–especially, southwestern.
Great salad also try adding rinsed kidney beans and taco meat served with doritos.Great taco salad
The first time I made this salad I added salt at the end like the recipe states, and it was way too salty. I think the chips are salty enough. The second time I made it I omitted the salt and it was just delicious! Diced avocado makes it even tastier. This salad is a perfect side for any mexican or southwestern style entree.
This salad was quick and easy to make. The dressing is soo tasy, the best salad dressing I have ever made.
