Food Lately: Mexican Shrimp Cobb Salad

I believe I've mentioned my new favorite recipe site, skinnytaste.com, correct? I hope so.

This is another yummy recipe that I made from there tonight- here's the link to the actual recipe, or read below. :) Enjoy!

For the Shrimp:
  • 16 oz cooked large shrimp, peeled
  • chipotle chili powder to taste
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • salt to taste

For the Salad:
  • 6 cups romaine lettuce, shredded
  • 15 oz black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup grilled corn kernels (I used Trader Joe's frozen roasted corn)
  • 2 tbsp red onion, divided
  • 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped
  • juice of 1/2 lime
  • 1 seedless cucumber, diced
  • 2 cups diced tomatoes
  • 1 ripe hass avocado, diced
  • 1 cup reduced fat Sargento Mexican Blend shredded cheese
I didn't have the stuff to make the dressing (forgot to go to that link and add the ingredients to the shopping list- love  when that happens...) so I got this recipe off of myrecipes.com- I like that site because it shows 1-5 star ratings and reviews.  This is the recipe I used for the dressing- I added about a 1/2 cup of water to make it a little runnier- too thick before the water.

Creamy Cilantro Lime Dressing:
• 2 Tablespoons chopped cilantro
• 1/2 cup low fat or fat-free sour cream
• 1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder


To Make Creamy Cilantro Lime Dressing: Combine all ingredients, and stir well with a whisk. Cover dressing and chill.
