Repeating an old FAV: Southwestern Caesar Salad with Chipotle Dressing

[anna_x]

This is a much requested family favorite from Epi. Love the summer, go to Farmer's Market for fresh stuff this afternoon and have my dressing ready to go. Easy dinner!

(Try with added black beans and chopped cooked chicken.)

SOUTHWESTERN CAESAR SALAD WITH CHIPOTLE DRESSING

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 1/2 tablespoon canned low-salt chicken broth

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 1/2 teaspoon minced canned chipotle chilies (in adobo sauce)

1 teaspoon brown sugar

1 large head romaine lettuce, cut into bite-size pieces

2 medium tomatoes, seeded, diced

1/2 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed, drained

4 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Whisk mayonnaise, chicken broth, soy sauce, lemon juice, chipotles and brown sugar in medium bowl to blend. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. (Dressing can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Mix lettuce, tomatoes and corn in large bowl. Add dressing and 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese and toss to coat. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese and serve.

Serves 4.

I LOVE this dressing!! I have it taped inside a cabinet door so I don't have to look it up.
