My mother-in-law introduced this to me. I LOVE it. It's perfect for summer too. So fresh, crisp and the avocado dressing...MMMM. I could eat it by the spoonful. It goes great with everything and would be a wonderful addition to your next barbeque. Salad:
1 head romail lettuce, chopped
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1-2 tomatoes, chopped
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 (16oz) can pitted olives, drained and cut in half
1 cup slightly crushed corn chips
Avocado Dressing
Avocado Dressing:
1 ripe avocado, peeled and seed removed
Juice of 1 lemon (about 1-2 T)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup vegetable oil
salt to taste (You're going to have salt from the cheese and chips so keep that in mind)
In a blender, mix dressing ingredients together until very smooth. Combine salad ingredients in a large bowl. Pour dressing over salad and toss to mix well. Serve immediately.
PS: I don't recommend dressing the salad until RIGHT before you serve it. If you aren't going to eat it all, don't dress it all because it doesn't keep...but that's OK because you're probably going to eat the whole salad yourself:)
