Categories     Side Dish

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 Romaine hearts (8 cups chopped)
2 cups baby greens, like baby kale (optional)
1/4 cup sliced red onions (or Pickled Red Onions)
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
4 radishes
1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 handful roasted salted pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
Dressing (pick one): Cilantro Lime Dressing, Creamy Cilantro Dressing, Chipotle Ranch, or Taco Salad Dressing (fastest)
Add-ons: Crispy Tortilla Strips, crumbled feta or cotija cheese, chopped avocado, black beans, or chopped cucumber

Steps:

  • If using, make the Crispy Tortilla Strips. Or, make them the day before and store in a sealed container in the pantry until serving.
  • Cilantro Lime Dressing, Creamy Cilantro Dressing (pictured), Chipotle Ranch, or Taco Salad Dressing (fastest!)
  • Chop the romaine. Thinly slice the red onion (follow the instructions at 1:30 of this video). Slice tomatoes in half. Thinly slice the radishes. Defrost the corn. Prepare any other add-on veggies as appropriate. Add a sprinkle of salt on the tomatoes, radishes, and corn to lightly season them.
  • Place the greens on the plate and top with the vegetables (and tortilla strips, if using). Top with the dressing and serve. If making in advance, refrigerate the components separately; bring the dressing to room temperature before serving.
