Mexican Layered Salad

Ingredients

  • 4 cups torn romaine

  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced, optional

  • 1 large cucumber, halved and sliced

  • 3 medium tomatoes, chopped

  • 2 medium ripe avocados, peeled and sliced or cut into 1/2-in. pieces

  • 1 each large green and sweet red pepper, chopped or sliced

  • 1-1/2 cups mayonnaise

  • 1/4 cup canned chopped green chiles

  • 2 teaspoons chili powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 cup crushed tortilla chips

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Here’s another popular dish I like to prepare in advance, adding the cheese and chips just before serving. It’s a slightly different version of the traditional layered salad.—Joan Hallford, North Richland Hills, Texas

Instructions

In a 2-qt. trifle bowl or glass serving bowl, layer fresh vegetables and avocado. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, chiles and seasonings; spread over top. Sprinkle with chips and cheese.
