  • 2 medium tomatoes seeded and diced
  • ½ cup fresh corn kernels
  • 4 tablespoons Cojito or Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • List commands, chicken broth, soy sauce, lemon juice, chipotles and brown sugar in a medium bowl to blend. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (Dressing can be made up to 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • Mix lettuce, tomatoes and corn in a large bowl. Add dressing and 2 tablespoons cheese and toss to coat. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons and serve.
  • Info on cutting the lettuce and adding a little bit of red wine vinegar

Notes

Letting tomato sit in salt for a few minutes
This is great with grilled chicken or shrimp on top of the salad. I usually add a little extra Chipotle pepper and a little bit of red wine vinegar. Fresh crisp tortilla chips are wonderful over top of salad.
