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.

10 EASY MEXICAN SALAD RECIPES - INSANELY GOOD

From insanelygoodrecipes.com
5/5 (1)
Published 2021-10-11
Category Recipe Roundup
  • Mexican Chopped Salad. The first time I had authentic Mexican tacos – the kind made from a dear friend who’d moved here from Mexico – they blew my mind.
  • Mexican Shrimp Salad. If you want your Mexican salad to have a little more umami in it, try this shrimp salad instead. The combination of peeled shrimp, black bean salsa, corn, and more tastes fantastic.
  • Mexican Street Corn Salad with Avocado. Mexican street corn salad is for anyone who enjoys shoe peg corn salad or any dense, chunky salad with lots of fresh veggies and tons of flavor.
  • Chicken Quesadilla Salad. If you love the Quesadilla Explosion salad from Chili’s, then you’ll go crazy for this quick and easy homemade version. It takes only 30 minutes to make, though you’ll need to marinate your chicken for at least 3 hours ahead of time.
  • Cucumber Tomato Salad. This salad is for those who prefer their appetizers to be cool, refreshing, and supremely zesty. The salad itself is simple and uses only five ingredients – cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, Cotija cheese, and cilantro.
  • Taco Salad. I debated adding taco salad to the list because most people already have their own recipes for it. Everyone loves taco salad! In the end, though, I just couldn’t have a list of Mexican salad recipes without adding taco salad.
  • Mexican Fruit Salad. So, you may be thinking that fruit salad is pretty much fruit salad wherever you eat it, and to a certain extent, you’d be right.
  • Black Bean Salad. Black bean salad is a lot like black bean salsa, except it’s chunkier, heartier, and less saucy. If you clicked on the link, saw that enormous ingredients list, and ran back here screaming, stop!
  • Tomato and Tomatillo Salad. This simple recipe is quick and easy to prepare. Other than the dressing, it uses only five ingredients: vine-ripened tomatoes, tomatillos, avocado, Cotija cheese, and cilantro.
  • Ensalada Navideña. Ensalada Navideña, also known as Mexican Christmas fruit salad, is a sweet and fruity dessert salad traditionally served at — you guessed it — Christmas.
