Christmas Notebook

Because I changed this recipe so much from the one I found online, I am putting up my own version here, as a complete recipe. Delicious and easy to make. Give it a try!

Mexican Chopped Salad

8 cups shredded romaine lettuce and/or spinach
2 tomatoes, chopped (I didn’t peel mine, but peel away if you like)
1 cup cucumber, chopped (did peel and seed these…again, your choice)
2 T finely crumbled Feta cheese

1 cup broken tortilla chips

Dressing

1/4 cup olive oil
Juice of one lime (or 2 T. bottled lime or lemon juice)
1 T salsa
2 T parsley, finely chopped
salt and pepper to taste

1. Place the lettuce/spinach, tomato, cucumber, and Feta in a salad bowl.

2. In a lidded container, place olive oil, lime juice, salsa and parsley. Close and shake vigorously until well mixed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Toss salad with the dressing. At the last minute, toss in tortilla chips.

Serves four.

The ingredients can be adjusted to any amount that floats your boat. And the original recipe uses 1/2 c. red (or substitute white) onion, but DH doesn’t eat onions, so I leave those out. They’d be great in there.
