Mexican Chicken Salad with Chipotle-Salsa Dressing

This isn't a recipe, so much as a list of ingredients. The exact amount of each ingredient and even the ingredients included are not all that critical - use whatever veggies you prefer and taste the dressing as you go, adjusting the ingredients to your own preferences.

The salad:

• 2 grilled chicken breasts. sliced
• 1 bag of Romaine lettuce
• 1 sliced red bell pepper
• 3 ears of corn, grilled
• 1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained
• chopped scallion or red onion
• grated cheddar cheese
• crushed tortilla chips
• 1 avocado, chopped and tossed with a bit of lime juice

The dressing:

• bottled Ranch dressing
• bottled salsa
• fresh lime juice
• ground chipotle powder

Place the dressing ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

I keep the avocado, tortilla chips and cheese separate - better for leftovers.
