Southwestern Salad with Green Chile Lime Salad Dressing

Apr.posted by Paula 9 Comments

Jump to Recipe

Fresh, colorful, and vibrant, Southwestern Salad with Green Chile Lime Salad Dressing has an incredible, bold flavor. It’s the perfect salad to serve for Taco Tuesday!

This hearty Texas-size salad is loaded with corn, black beans, avocado, red bell pepper then enhanced with a creamy green chile and lime dressing! (Note: For photo purposes, I didn’t put the dressing on the salad.)

This recipe pairs beautifully with burgers especially my Enchilada Burger Recipe, hotdogs, and Orange & Jalapeno Marinated Grilled Flat Iron Steak.

Southwestern Salad with Green Chile Lime Salad Dressing

Just like for any non-baking recipe, especially a salad, you can add or omit any ingredient. Therefore, if you don’t like red bell peppers, leave them out or substitute yellow bell peppers for example.

While we’re talking about additions and substitutions, you can add chicken to this for more protein. This recipe is a great way to use leftover chicken.

When I add red onions to almost any recipe, I almost always use Pickled Red Onions. Pickled onions still have the crunch, but the strong, tart flavor is replaced with a more mellow flavor that I much prefer (especially in a salad).

You can add more crunch with tortilla strips or broken tortilla chips.

Furthermore, I recommend making the salad dressing a few hours before you plan to serve the salad. This way the flavors have a chance to blend. Therefore, the dressing will be much, much better!

Moe’s Chipotle Ranch Dressing is another option for the salad dressing.
