SOUTHWESTERN LAYERED SALAD

Southwestern Layered Salad image

An old potluck favorite, the layered salad is perfect when spiced up with Southwestern flavors. Lighten up classic mayonnaise-based dressing by swapping in olive oil mayonnaise and nonfat Greek yogurt. Lots of veggies, black beans and a bit of Cheddar cheese add staying power.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

3 large eggs
4 slices center-cut bacon
1/4 cup plus 3/4 tablespoon nonfat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup olive oil mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Pinch cayenne pepper
1/4 head iceberg lettuce, chopped
1 red bell pepper, stemmed, ribs removed, seeded and sliced across in 1/4-inch rings
One 15.5-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup cooked corn kernels
2 ounces shredded Cheddar

Steps:

Place the eggs in a large pot and fill with cold water; bring to a boil. Immediately remove from the heat and cover the pot for 10 minutes. Drain and then submerge the eggs in cold water. Peel, slice and set aside.
Lay the bacon on a paper-towel-lined microwave-safe plate. Cover with another paper towel. Microwave on high for 4 to 5 minutes. Crumble or cut the bacon into small pieces.
To make the dressing, whisk the yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice and cayenne together.
Line the bottom of four serving bowls with the lettuce. Layer the red pepper rings, crumbled bacon, black beans, sliced egg and corn in each bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the salads and sprinkle the cheese on top. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.

Heat the oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken generously on each side with taco seasoning.
Add the chicken to the heated skillet and let it sear on the first side, untouched, for five minutes. It will begin to release from the skillet once it’s ready to flip.
Use kitchen tongs to carefully flip the chicken once it’s reached a deep golden brown color, and sear the other side for 4-5 more minutes, decreasing the heat slightly if needed.
Remove from the heat and let it sit for at least 5 minutes prior to slicing it to allow the juices to absorb.
