Mexican Salad

My neighbor, Julie, made Mexican Salad for our neighborhood Bunco appetizer several months ago. It was soooo good that I had to get the recipe. It saves well since it's a cabbage salad but the pepitas and chips do get soggy. Just add more freshies when eating the second time around...IF you have leftovers.

This is delicious!

Mexican Salad

Salad:

• 1 bag coleslaw
• 1 can mexicorn 
• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1-2 c shredded cheddar cheese 
• 2 c chicken, shredded
• cilantro, chopped
• 1 c jicama, chopped
• 1/2 red onion, chopped
• 1 avocado, chopped
• 1 bag pepita seeds 
• 1/2 bag tortilla chips, crunched

Mexican Ranch Dressing*
 *Tastes better if made a day in advance.

• 1 c ranch
• 1 tbs cumin (more or less to taste)
• 1 lime (amount is up to you)

Directions:

1. Put salad ingredients in a very large bowl. 
2. Toss with dressing just before serving. 
3. Transfer to nice serving bowl. 
4. Enjoy!

Notes: Toss all ingredients in a BIG bowl. Use a bigger one than you think you'll need and then transfer final product into a smaller serving bowl. Trust me.
