100% would make again

“I was making a Mexican themed dinner one night last summer, and figured I’d make a salad with the fresh produce I had. I threw in anything that reminded me of Mexican food. Thankfully, it turned out, and the combination of salsa and ranch dressing is one we now use on sandwiches burgers and more, “ writes Heather Byers from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

I made this into a main dish salad by adding garlic lime chicken cubes previously prepared and cooled; delicious!

I add a sweet onion to mine. Very good for potlucks, even better at home.
