Tortilla Ranch Chopped Salad

Chef Jean's Note:

I tossed this together to serve with dinner, the Mexican flavors were a hit with me so I thought I would post it to see if others agree. Prep time includes all the chopping. Makes 6 side servings or 2 entree sized portions.

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 30 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 6

Yield: 6.0 side sa ...

• 1 cup green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 cup celery, chopped
• 1/2 cup onion, chopped, red or yellow
• 3/4 cup cheddar cheese, crumbled or grated
• 1 cup iceberg lettuce, chopped
• 1 1/2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 1/4-1/2 cup ranch dressing
• 3/4 cup tortilla chips, slightly crushed

Directions:

1. After all the veggies are chopped to be about the same size pieces place them all in a large bowl(one with a lid is best). Add the cheese and chips. Top with the seasoning and dressing.
2. Cover and shake the salad until everything is evenly coated. (If you don't have a large enough bowl with a lid just stir everything.).

I loved this! I've already made it 3 times.....totally yummy. I did use some of those little tortilla strips instead of crushing tortilla chips. I also used red peppers instead of green. I used the smaller amount of ranch, and used low fat. Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe!
