Chopped Salad With Spicy Buttermilk Dressing image

This salad is so good! I adapted this recipe (it originally included cooking some pork) to become just a salad that I could add any kind of meat to it, if I wanted. If you're in the mood for southwest flavors, give this a try!

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 teaspoon dried chipotle powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon ground pepper
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
2 scallions, whites minced and greens thinly slice, separated

Steps:

  • Whisk together buttermilk, mayonnaise, scallion whites and garlic; Combine chile powder, salt and pepper and add to mixture.
  • Add romaine, tomatoes, corn, cheese, and scallion greens to the bowl (if you are adding meat, you would add it here).
