This colorful salad looks great on a buffet table and tastes even better. The crunchy corn chips are a nice change from croutons. —Sandra Forsyth, Edmonton, Alberta

Keeping Lettuce FreshTo store lettuce to keep it crisp and fresh, wash lettuce in cold water and drain very well. Use a “salad spinner” or pat it dry with paper towels. Store in a resealable plastic bag or airtight container with a dry paper towel in the bottom to absorb any leftover moisture. (Be certain to replace the towel if it gets wet.) For extra-crispy salads, you may want to use a lettuce variety like romaine that’s naturally more crisp.

I love this dressing! Actually didn't make the rest of the salad, just serving it with mixed greens, avocado and feta, but it would be delish with anything. I might try a couple T. less mayo and a large avocado instead.

Very good! I sprinkle some cheddar cheese on when tossing the salad together. Have used both tortilla chips and corn chips - both are good! Light mayonnaise seemed to work fine as well.

My family loved the salad! I didn't use all the dressing. I thought it would be over dressed. We used the leftover for a sandwhich spread. FABULOUS!!!

This is a GREAT main dish salad recipe and one I go to time and time again! I LOVE the corn chips on it, and the dressing is fantastic! I'm making it for dinner again tonight, and am already looking forward to it!

Great salad. I agree that the corn chips aren't needed. The dressing is the key but don't over dress.

The dressing is absolutely fantastic! I love it!! I use as a dip, sandwich spread, etc. I personally don't think that the corn chips would be good on it. The salad is SO GOOD without it, that I think it would be too much and kind of a wrong texture.
