Like I said in my previous post, I had a good bit of leftover chili relleno filling. Turns out, this filling goes great on top of a salad. I decided on a ranch dressing to cool down the spice a bit.
Let me tell you, this salad was
good. I ate the entire big plate. Plus, it's simple.
For the dressing, you need: Ranch dressing (make your own if you're feeling motivated), chives, and taco seasoning.
Pour some ranch dressing in a bowl.
Add the chives
And the taco seasoning.
Stir it up and set aside.
For the rest of the salad you will need: a bunch of stuff in bags. Just kidding. You need salad mix (whatever blows your skirt up), cheese, cucumber, and bell pepper. I love the minis because I can use all of the colors without having a bunch of half cut up bell peppers in my fridge.
Chop up your bell pepper...
And your cucumber.
Throw your leftover filling in a bowl and microwave until hot.
Throw some lettuce on a plate.
Top with the peppers.
And cucumbers.
Next crumble some queso fresco on top.
And top with the hot filling. This ordering is very important. It makes sure that the cheese gets kinda melted. Mmm...
Cover with the ranch dressing we made earlier and tada! Easy lunch. Not to mention, tasty.
So good. My wise older sister likes to become a vegetarian from time to time. She learned from this that the key to a good salad is to have more toppings than lettuce. This is not a vegetarian salad, but it follows the rule and it's so good!
