I have a newly developed addicted to Chipotle Mexican Grill. Until recently we always opted for Cafe Rio, which I absolutely love and always will. But I just might have enough room in my Top Ameri-Mex Restaurants Of All Time for both Cafe Rio and Chipotle. It’s like ice cream and frozen yogurt. You can’t compare the two, they’re just different. And both completely wonderful. This salad doesn’t call for anything crazy, just some oldie but goodie fresh ingredients like black beans, red peppers, corn, red onions and cilantro (<— my heart throb). But the really kicker here is the dressing. Sweet, savory, and a little spicy, it’s perfectly satisfying for my Tex-Mex cravings. I’m also gonna let you in on a little secret . . . This salad makes an amazing salsa! Serve it up by itself or with tortilla chips alongside your favorite Mexican dishes. It only takes about 5 minutes to throw together (my favorite part) and you can even turn it into a main dish if you want. Just grill up some chicken and toss it in with the rest of the salad ingredients – instant hearty and filling salad! Recipe adapted from One Upon a Chef.
