Southwestern 7 Layered Salad - a new take on an old classic



1 head of Red Leaf Lettuce, chopped
1 ripe tomato, diced
1 ripe avocado diced
1 cup thawed, shelled edamame (I usually just put mine in a bowl of hot water to de-thaw quickly)
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
Texas Toast Tortilla Strips
Shredded Cheddar Cheese


Dressing: 1 packet of Hidden Valley Ranch mix for dressings - use 1 packet of dressing mix, 1/2 cup light sour cream, 1/2 cup light mayonnaise, 1 cup skim milk. Wisk together. Add 2-3 Tbs. of Texas Pete Chipotle hot sauce, and 2 Tbs. freshly minced cilantro. Let sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

In a glass bowl or trifle dish - layer lettuce, tomato, avocado, edamame and red onion. Dash with salt and pepper. Add about half of the salad dressing and top with tortilla strips and cheddar cheese. Walla!
