California Salad

This is a salad I make allot in the summer but forget about in the winter months. It has an avocado dressing that keeps for 2-3 days in the fridge without discoloring, and the flavor of the dressing is almost better if it sits for a day.

1 head romaine lettuce

2 chopped tomatoes

2 sliced green onions

1 cup grated cheddar cheese (or tex mex cheese)

1/2 cup sliced black olives (optional)

2 cups corn chips

DRESSING

1 avocado

1/2 cup mayo

1 tbsp lemon juice

1/4 cup oil

1 clove crushed garlic (or 1/4 tsp garlic powder)

1/4 tsp Tabasco

1/2 tsp salt

Blend all dressing ingredients together is a blender or small food chopper. Mix together all salad ingredients except cheese and chips. Just before you are ready to serve, add the cheese and corn chips and toss with dressing. I find this is quite abit of dressing so add as much as you like.
