Mexican Layered Salad
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

Reviews
What an awesome salad! I made it for a family gathering, so I used 6 cups of romaine, 1 3/4 cups mayonnaise, and layered it in a 12x8-inch pan. This worked perfectly and everyone thought the salad was great! A new favorite and something I can't wait to make again!
Easy recipe to make. For us it was pretty good. I just didn't like it wasn't something that could be had the next day. Or even make too far ahead. It was too soggy.
Good and easy recipes
Served this at a luncheon. I added alittle more chili powder and would cut down alittle on the mayonnaise but it had a good flavor and several wanted the recipe. It is a good mix of vegetables.
This a great salad with a pretty presentation. I don't care for mayo so I used ranch instead. I served the dressing on the side, but it was not necessary because everyone liked it. I made this dish along side a chilies rellenoes casserole.
I am a big fan of fudge & this is the best I have ever had. I gave to relatives & friends as a gift & all raved about the taste.
My review is based on the dressing. (As for the vegetable combination and presentation, I thought it was very good.) The dressing was overpowered by the chili powder. You could hardly taste any heat from the green chiles, and the mayo flavor was just too much. I felt embarrassed to serve it!
Very tasty. The flavors really blend well!! The only thing we do differently is that we leave out the avocadoes since we don't care for them. Simply DELICIOUS!!!
very tasty and easy to carry to dinners
All I can say is.....SCRUMPTIOUS!!!!
