Ingredients

1 head romaine lettuce
2 cups cherry tomatoes
1 medium cucumber
0.5 medium red onion
1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 can (15 oz) canned black beans
0.75 cup French dressing
3 cups corn chips
0.25 cup fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly, then chop it into bite-sized pieces. Place the lettuce in a large salad bowl.

Step 2

Rinse and halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion. Add them to the salad bowl with the lettuce.

Drain and rinse the canned black beans, then add them to the bowl along with the shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 4

Just before serving, pour the French dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 5

Add the corn chips to the salad and toss again lightly to incorporate. This ensures the chips stay crunchy.

Step 6

If desired, garnish the salad with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of fresh flavor.

Step 7

Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp textures and zesty flavors. This salad is best eaten on the same day it is prepared.
