This is a nice change and goes great with a Tortilla or Mexican Casserole. A quick and easy recipe that is great using shortcuts (I love shortcuts). I add the Quick Chili Croutons for an extra zip. My family really enjoyed this salad which I got from Kraftfoods.com.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

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

Steps:

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.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your dressing will taste. If possible, use freshly squeezed lemon juice, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and freshly chopped herbs.
Don't over-blend the dressing: Over-blending the dressing will make it thick and gloopy. Blend the dressing just until the ingredients are combined.
Taste the dressing before serving: Adjust the seasonings to your liking. If the dressing is too tangy, add a little more honey or sugar. If the dressing is too salty, add a little more lemon juice.
Use the dressing on a variety of salads: Southwest Caesar dressing is a great choice for salads with grilled chicken, shrimp, or steak. It can also be used on salads with roasted vegetables, black beans, or corn.
Store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to 5 days: Be sure to store the dressing in an airtight container.

Southwest Caesar dressing is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your liking. With its creamy, tangy, and slightly spicy flavor, Southwest Caesar dressing is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
