Ready In: 20 mins
Serves: 8-10
Ingredients
Dressing
- 1⁄4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1⁄4 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
- 1⁄2 cup canola oil
Salad
- 3 cups finely chopped romaine lettuce
- 2 beefsteak tomatoes, seeded & finely diced
- 1⁄2 cup canned chick-peas, rinsed and drained
- 1⁄2 cup nicoise olive, pitted and coarsely chopped
- 3⁄4 cup cubed white cheddar cheese
- 3⁄4 cup cubed monterey jack cheese
- 1 cup fried blue & white corn tortilla, cut into 1/2 inch squares
- chopped fresh chives (to garnish) (optional)
Directions
- In a blender, or with a wire whisk, blend balsamic vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper until smooth. Slowly blend in oil and blend until emulsified.
- Toss lettuce, tomatoes, beans, chickpeas, olives and cheeses together in large bowl and dress lightly with vinaigrette. Garnish with tortilla chips and chives.
- You can buy foil packets (in produce department) of tri-color crispy tortilla strips. Use these instead of frying tortillas - saves lots of time and tastes just as good.
