An old potluck favorite, the layered salad is perfect when spiced up with Southwestern flavors. Lighten up classic mayonnaise-based dressing by swapping in olive oil mayonnaise and nonfat Greek yogurt. Lots of veggies, black beans and a bit of Cheddar cheese add staying power.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 large eggs
4 slices center-cut bacon
1/4 cup plus 3/4 tablespoon nonfat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup olive oil mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Pinch cayenne pepper
1/4 head iceberg lettuce, chopped
1 red bell pepper, stemmed, ribs removed, seeded and sliced across in 1/4-inch rings
One 15.5-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup cooked corn kernels
2 ounces shredded Cheddar

Steps:

  • Place the eggs in a large pot and fill with cold water; bring to a boil. Immediately remove from the heat and cover the pot for 10 minutes. Drain and then submerge the eggs in cold water. Peel, slice and set aside.
  • Lay the bacon on a paper-towel-lined microwave-safe plate. Cover with another paper towel. Microwave on high for 4 to 5 minutes. Crumble or cut the bacon into small pieces.
  • To make the dressing, whisk the yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice and cayenne together.
  • Line the bottom of four serving bowls with the lettuce. Layer the red pepper rings, crumbled bacon, black beans, sliced egg and corn in each bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the salads and sprinkle the cheese on top. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.

SOUTHWEST LAYERED PASTA SALAD



Southwest Layered Pasta Salad image

After the popularity of my Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad (Thank you, JAP chefs!), I thought I'd develop another salad dish, this time with a Southwestern tang. As always, choose the ingredients your family loves and realize that the amounts are always your choice. I'm just going to list what I do and give you some more options. ...

Categories     Chicken Salads

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

some pasta; cooked, rinsed in cool water, drained (wagon wheel pasta is a nice touch) 1/2 pound of uncooked pasta makes enough for 4-6 servings
some salad dressing (ranch or chipotle ranch are my favorites)
some shredded or chopped lettuce
some tomato chunks
some sliced black olives
some chopped onion
some chopped peppers (green, jalapeno, etc...)
some cooked corn, drained & cooled
some black beans; cooked, rinsed in cool water, & drained
some shredded or small chunks of cheese (pepper jack, colby jack, cheddar, etc...)
some crumbled fritos
OTHER OPTIONS TO CONSIDER...
some chicken strips or chunks, seasoned with southwestern spices
some salsa
some sour cream
some crumbled bacon or bacon bits
some ranch-flavored croutons, instead of crumbled fritos

Steps:

  • 1. While pasta is cooking, prepare your chopped vegetables. If using canned corn or black beans, just rinse & drain well. Cover & refrigerate until ready to assemble the salad.
  • 2. Mix the drained & cooled pasta with some of the salad dressing. Cover and refrigerate if you are not ready to eat.
  • 3. When it's time for dinner, layer the pasta, then the vegetables, in a large pasta bowl or individual salad plates.
  • 4. Top with crumbled Fritos and shredded cheese.
  • 5. Decisions, decisions... Will you top with more salad dressing or possibly salsa & sour cream?
  • 6. Whatever you decide, enjoy!
