Southwest Salad with Dressing is a vibrant, flavor-packed dish inspired by the bold and zesty flavors of Southwestern cuisine. This salad typically features a mix of crisp greens, juicy cherry tomatoes, sweet corn kernels, protein-rich black beans, creamy avocado, and crunchy tortilla strips. It’s often topped with grilled chicken for added protein or as a vegetarian option, it can be enjoyed sans meat. The dressing, usually a tangy chipotle ranch or cilantro lime vinaigrette, adds a creamy, smoky kick that ties all the ingredients together. Rich in fiber from the beans and vegetables, healthy fats from avocado, and lean protein from the chicken, this salad is a nutritious choice. However, the tortilla strips and creamy dressing may increase saturated fat and calorie content, so portion control is key. Overall, it’s a satisfying and delicious way to enjoy a balanced meal with a Southwestern twist.
