There is a local salad shop here in Indy, When Eddie Met Salad, and in no way could I ever mimick all of their amazing salads but one had me itching for more and my wallet itching for less, their Ensalada!!! So I decided to make my own copycat recipe of the ensalada and see how it would turn out. Much to my surprise, my dressing is kick ass (and of course much, MUCH healthier!)
I bought all the following from Wal-Mart:
1 head iceberg lettuce
1 can Red Gold rotel style tomatoes and green chilis
1 can black beans
1 can whole kernel sweet corn
1 bag pre-cooked fajita chicken 16oz
1 bag taco cheese
1 container FAGE 0% Greek Yogurt
Valentia hot sauce (had at home)
Hidden Valley Dry Ranch (I keep a large shaker from Sam's Club on hand at all times)
2 Tbsp Milk
*Optional - Tortilla Strips ( I choose to omit these for less sodium)
I pre-made my salad for the week and stored the produce separately combining only the corn and beans into one container.
Dressing:
1/2 cup of Greek Yogurt
2 Tbspns Dry Ranch Seasoning
2 Tbspns Skim or 1% Milk
2 Tbspns Valentina
Mix together and sit overnight (use more milk if you like it a bit more runny!) This makes enough for all salads for the WEEK!!!
Every morning I throw my ingredients into my handy Pyrex customized dish and take my container of dressing to work, yes, it says my name! I made it myself!
