Southwest Salad

Maybe one day, (one day soon hopefully), I will put pictures with my scrumptious recipes...but for now we must read on sans images.  Here is one from my own mother...easy, fast, healthy (well mostly) and delicious.

Southwest Salad
1-2 heart romaine lettuce and other spinach or lettuce as wanted/needed
1 can drained and washed black beans
1 can drained whole kernel corn
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1/2 cup salsa or picante sauce
tomatoes, cheese, avocados as wanted
crushed tortillas chips or large warm flour tortillas

Wash and cut up greenery and put in large salad bowl.  Drain can of beans and wash in strainer and then add to salad bowl.  Drain can of corn and add to salad bowl. In separate pyrex or smaller bowl combine 1/2 cup ranch and 1/2 cup salsa, mix well.  You can add it directly to the salad and toss well or keep it on the side and add as much to your plate as you would like. Toss the salad well before serving with or without the dressing.  I also put cut up tomatoes and cheese in my salad and you can either put crushed up tortillas chips or serve the salad in a large warmed tortilla.  Both are delicious.
