Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 1/2 cups)

CL Comments: The creamy dressing mellows the heat from the chiles. Add
a spoonful of adobo sauce for a spicier salad. Kidney or pinto beans
also taste great in this dish. Total time: 34 minutes.
Amy's Comments: Easy to make (just a little chopping, that's all!) and
VERY tasty!! It made a very filling dinner. I made up the dressing in
a seperate bowl. Then put everything but the lettuce in a bowl. Then
stirred the dressing in and served the mix over the lettuce. This
would kickbutt rolled in a tortilla with some lettuce too! YUM! (PS: You could make this core but subbing FF sour cream)
