2 cups mayonnaise
1 cup milk
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
A few dashes hot sauce, or to taste
1 clove garlic, grated
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 ears corn, shucked
3 heads green leaf lettuce, torn into chunks
2 cups halved red grape tomatoes
1/2 red onion, diced

  • For the dressing: Mix together the mayonnaise, milk, sour cream, parsley, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, hot sauce, garlic and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl. Set aside.

MEXICAN FIESTA SALAD



Mexican Fiesta Salad image

"I was making a Mexican themed dinner one night last summer, and figured I'd make a salad with the fresh produce I had. I threw in anything that reminded me of Mexican food. Thankfully, it turned out, and the combination of salsa and ranch dressing is one we now use on sandwiches burgers and more, " writes Heather Byers from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Category Recipe Roundup
  • Mexican Chopped Salad. The first time I had authentic Mexican tacos – the kind made from a dear friend who’d moved here from Mexico – they blew my mind.
  • Mexican Shrimp Salad. If you want your Mexican salad to have a little more umami in it, try this shrimp salad instead. The combination of peeled shrimp, black bean salsa, corn, and more tastes fantastic.
  • Mexican Street Corn Salad with Avocado. Mexican street corn salad is for anyone who enjoys shoe peg corn salad or any dense, chunky salad with lots of fresh veggies and tons of flavor.
  • Chicken Quesadilla Salad. If you love the Quesadilla Explosion salad from Chili’s, then you’ll go crazy for this quick and easy homemade version. It takes only 30 minutes to make, though you’ll need to marinate your chicken for at least 3 hours ahead of time.
  • Cucumber Tomato Salad. This salad is for those who prefer their appetizers to be cool, refreshing, and supremely zesty. The salad itself is simple and uses only five ingredients – cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, Cotija cheese, and cilantro.
  • Taco Salad. I debated adding taco salad to the list because most people already have their own recipes for it. Everyone loves taco salad! In the end, though, I just couldn’t have a list of Mexican salad recipes without adding taco salad.
  • Mexican Fruit Salad. So, you may be thinking that fruit salad is pretty much fruit salad wherever you eat it, and to a certain extent, you’d be right.
  • Black Bean Salad. Black bean salad is a lot like black bean salsa, except it’s chunkier, heartier, and less saucy. If you clicked on the link, saw that enormous ingredients list, and ran back here screaming, stop!
  • Tomato and Tomatillo Salad. This simple recipe is quick and easy to prepare. Other than the dressing, it uses only five ingredients: vine-ripened tomatoes, tomatillos, avocado, Cotija cheese, and cilantro.
  • Ensalada Navideña. Ensalada Navideña, also known as Mexican Christmas fruit salad, is a sweet and fruity dessert salad traditionally served at — you guessed it — Christmas.
