Mexican Layered Salad



Mexican Layered Salad

A few weeks ago I shared with you the basic "7-Layer-Salad" recipe.  The layered-salad recipes still to come in posts later this year are:   

Mediteranian Many Layered Salad


Asian Seven Layer twist

and

Spring Life Layered Salad

 Today I am sharing the Mexican Layered Salad version that I created.




Romaine Lettuce (washed, drained and chopped)                    Printable Recipe
3 tomatoes (washed, cored and chopped)
2 avacados (peeled and chopped)
2 tablespoons cilantro (washed and chopped)
3 green onions (washed and chopped)
1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
2 cups shredded cheese (Cheddar, Monterey Jack or Pepper cheese are all great options)
frozen corn (thawed, rinsed and drained)
1 small sour cream (16 oz)
1 packet of dry guacamole mix
2 tablespoons salsa

Prepare the ingredients as listed above.  Mix the sour cream, guacamole packet and salsa together until well blended.  I like to see the beautiful layers of this salad so I use a large glass bowl (However, if you don't own one then any large serving bowl will do - stainless steel, ceramic - whatever).  Begin layering the salad and start with the lettuce first. 

The order doesn't really matter but this is the order in which I build this salad (going from the bottom of the bowl to the top):

1.  Lettuce
2.  Beans
3.  Green Onions
4.  Tomatoes
5.  Sour Cream mixture
6.  Corn
7. Avacado
8.  Cheese
9.  Cilantro

When you are dishing up this salad - make sure you serve all of the layers and scoop all the way down to the bottom of the bowl. 
ENJOY!!

  2. This is my own creation - I'm not Mexican but I love Mexican food and I hope this salad has that wonderful flavor (I think it does). If you try it - please let me know what you think. Thanks for stopping by.

  3. Looks yummy. I love all kinds of Mexican food. It would be easy to add or remove ingredients to our specific taste.
