10-Minute Southwest Layered Salad

Absolutely Delicious! Easy to make and perfect for a quick lunch or dinner!

Enjoyed this for lunch and was delighted with the ease and the taste. The only thhing I did differeny was to mix the Ranch with a litlle Catalina dressing and it was a treat as I love taco salads.Will be enjoying for lucnh again toady. Thanks for the great recipe.

Excellent light meal for hot summer nights! Got rave reviews from family on this quick and easy recipe!

Here's a great way to make a complete meal that adults and especially the kids will love if they like Mexican food. Brown a pound of hamburger with a packet of taco seasoning mix and add over the layer of lettuce, then beans and top with cheese. Cover with a bowl or pot lid for just a couple of minutes and cheese will melt. You can also add a jar of Cheese in a Jar, Cheez Whiz, warmed in the microwave and poured over the salad instead of the cheese called for in the ingredients. This would even make a filling for a taco shell or tortilla.

Delicious salad! I substituted shredded pepper jack cheese, added fresh cilantro and sliced olives. I also mixed the salsa with the ranch dressing before drizzling. My husband had already eaten dinner and had two helpings. Great hot weather recipe

I have already made this salad twice! My family loves it and is super quick and a great summer salad. It makes a great presentation- great salad to take to a summer party!

I love salads, but to reduce the calories even more, I omit or use very little cheese, and I add some dry ranch dressing powder to salsa and make that my dressing. It tastes so good!!

Instead of Ranch dressing I like to make my own with sour cream, a little water and hot sauce. Make it to where it is not think and a little runny. Drizzle it over salad. Yummy!

This is quick and easy. A great summer time dinner or even lunch.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this easy recipe. We will be sure to enjoy it in the days ahead.
