This was a pretty good salad. However, the chips got really soggy. For next time, I will probably add the chips after the rest of the ingredients have been mixed together.I will try adding salsa to the salad next time too. Also, I added black olives instead of green. The dressing makes the salad! It has a wonderful taste. Overall, this salad was pretty good.

This was okay, a little weird. I didn't put the green onions in, used yellow peppers instead. I also did not put the corn chips in as I am doing low-carb, so I crumbled a few whole wheat crackers in, which was fine. The dressing was what threw me. Everyone raved about how good it was, and it was all right, but really, really rich. I didn't feel like I was eating healthy since it was so thick and gooey tasting.

Loved it!! If you like avacado you will love this. It was a mild dressing and salad ingredients are easy to work with; add more or less to your taste. I used black olive instead of green. Will definitely make again. Great for company, too.

I made the dressing for another type salad and it was fabulous. It could be used for so many other things since it's thick. burgers, sandwiches, chip dip, tacos. We loved it! Maybe I'll make the salad part some day too.

This is the best salad I've ever had. You can add whatever vegetables you like. I added snow peas and black olives and omitted the onions and green olives. The dressing is what makes this an awesome recipe. I take this salad to family functions and I always get asked for the recipe! Thanks for sharing with us!

I made this salad for my family and everyone loved it. My grandmother ( a notoriously picky eater) asked for seconds, unfortunately there were none, because the salad was gone in about two seconds. The only change I made was to add a LOT more hot sauce.

Really yummy. Will do this again. I used light mayo and light sour cream to equal the amount of mayo called for in the recipe. I added a cup or so of fresh cilantro and used lime juice. It needed thining so I use some milk. Everyone loved it, I even forgot the chips which would definately make it tastier. Thanks:}

Pretty good recipe. I followed the advice of a previous poster and added some cumin and chili powder to the dressing - I think without it, the dressing would've been pretty bland. But with the spices, delicious! I added some already cooked southwestern flavored chicken and we had it for dinner - good recipe - thanks!!

We enjoyed this salad but I feel like the dressing was a little too creamy. I may add more olive oil and use juice of one lime instead of lemon.

Brought this to a party and all loved it. Made a few changes - added one extra avocado, used fat free sr cream instead of mayo, and lime juice instead of lemon. The dressing was a little bland, so I added 1 Tbsp ea. of chili powder & cumin, 1 tsp onion powder, and 3 cloves chopped garlic. I thinned the dressing with milk (adjust to your desired consistency) Used about 1/2 c sliced green olives w/pimiento, 1/4c pickled jalapeno slices and added 1/2c cilantro leaves to the greens. Everyone loved it.

Here is another excellent recipe thanks to Allrecipes. Threw everything in the blender. Used a mixed green salad mix instead of romaine but next time I will use the romaine as I think it would work best. Husband loved the flavor and has requested that I take this to a friend's house for dinner this evening.

Yummy salad! Everyone loved it and so easy to make! Next time I'll try lime instead of lemon, and maybe some chopped cilantro for an extra kick.

Love this salad! I thinned the dressing a bit with whole milk to get it to the right consistency for me. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing.

Good salad Lori. I made this for my mom and I over the Christmas holidays and we both enjoyed this...though it was very filling. We left out the green olives.
