✰ The Best MEXICAN NIGHT SALAD

This easy MEXICAN NIGHT SALAD Recipe. Step-by-Step. is perfect for busy families. Comes together quickly with a few staple ingredients!

INGREDIENTS

DRESSING 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (Hellmans or Best Foods) 2 tablespoons sour cream 1 tablespoon lime juice 1?2 teaspoon sugar 1?4 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/8 teaspoon table salt 1?8 teaspoon cinnamon 1 dash ground pepper 1?4 cup chopped pecans SALAD 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped 1 avocado, chopped 1 orange, sectioned and chopped (optional) 1?4 small red onion, thinly sliced

DIRECTIONS

I like to make this in my mini food-processor, but I'll give the directions both ways. FOOD PROCESSOR: Combine all ingredients except pecans and blend well. Add pecans and blend so that some of the pecans are ground fairly fine and some are still recognizable. BY HAND: If you have anyway to crush the pecans, crush a tablespoon or so. Combine all ingredients and blend well. TOSS WITH SALAD: Add a little at a time and toss in an oversized bowl. Store leftover dressing in the fridge. NOTE: When we're dieting, I substitute low-fat mayo and sour cream.
