This is a great alternative to the traditional taco salad. It truly is a whole meal salad; just add hot, crusty rolls and maybe some white wine and a light desssert for a great luncheon or supper. It goes together quickly, just be sure to have the ingredients chilled. This recipe was given to me by a Hispanic teacher at our school so I tend to think of it as authentic . Ingredients:
1/2 head lettuce |
2 tomatoes, cut in wedges |
1/2 cup pitted ripe olives, sliced and drained |
1/4 cup chopped green onion |
1 cup corn chips (or more, to taste) |
1 (12 ounce) can tuna, drained |
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese |
1/2 cup mashed avocado |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1/2 cup sour cream |
1/3 cup salad oil |
1 garlic clove, peeled |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
1/2 teaspoon chili powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon tabasco sauce or 1/4 teaspoon chopped green chili pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. To make the Salad: Have all ingredients chilled. Break the lettuce into a serving bowl. Add other ingredients except cheese. Toss lightly with Avocado Dressing. Top with grated cheese.
2. To make the Avocado Dressing: Put all ingredients in the blender and blend well.
