The other day a HAMBer PM'd me asking for the recipe for the salad I've taken to a few of the local HAMB BBQs and just now while making a tortilla run to the Ralph's around the corner I ran into Dante and Plan9's wives, (well, actually I was walking by oblivious to my surroundings as usual, when they hollered out "DrJ! from their car,) and they asked me to post the recipe here, so here it is: Chipotle Green Salad ____ Romaine, a couple or three heads, cut up Carrots, shredded Tomatoes, I use Roma, seeded and chopped. Corn, I use the Trader Joe's "Fire Roasted" frozen corn that's sorta fat like posole but any corn will do. Green onion, chopped Cheese, I use Trader Joe's "Fancy Shredded Mexican Blend", which is Queso Blanco, Cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Asadero Cheeses. Black beans, drained canned, or fresh cooked if you want. Dressing, mix "Original" Ranch Dressing with some Chipotle Sauce, which is a Habanero Sauce or whatever red chili "taco" sauce you can round up. Don't go crazy with it but enough to taste and make your brow sweat a little by the time you finish... Maybe 4 parts Ranch to one part chili sauce? I put chopped cooked Chicken in it some times, but that's optional. Toss it all together as soon as the BBQ cook has the Carne Asada ready. I'd give amounts but they depend on how much salad you're making and how much your kids or you like the different ingredients so just figure each one as "enough" and don't drown it with too much the dressing! Bon Apetite! (You can tell someone's a Redneck if they think a Green Salad is the one made with Lime Jello...) Anybody else got a picnic recipe to add? Manifold-grilled cheese sandwichs or burritos? (I made a grilled cheese sandwich on the electric coffee maker hotplate when I was in rehab.) Anything?
(I made a grilled cheese sandwich on the electric coffee maker hotplate when I was in rehab.) Did you ever "pop" a socket to light a cigarett? Haha, Just kiddig... Sounds killer!
Well, I'm the guy who asked Dr J for his recipe. I added some avocado and some black olives to it. It was gooooood.
It sounds good and my mouth is watering just reading about it!! I may have to make a run to the market.... Thanks DrJ
Hey, Is this real Chipotle Salad or Sears Chipotle Salad? Hummm!, no foolin'. "Why this chipotle salad is made in Long Beach California", Long- Beach California????!!!!! Swankey Devils C.C.
