Mexican Salad

This is something I created on our vacation in Mexico last summer. It really hits the spot. When I make it I usually just layer individual salads up on each plate. It would probably be easy to set up Hawaiian Haystack style with each ingredient in a separate bowl.

Romaine lettuce chopped (or any lettuce)
Chunked Cheddar Cheese (any cheese will do)
1 can heated black beans (use more for larger families)
Chopped cilantro
Chopped avocado
Diced tomatoes (or sliced)
Salsa
Ranch Dressing

Layer your salad with lettuce first, then beans, then remaining ingredients. The salsa and dressing go on top. You usually need less Ranch dressing than on a regular salad because the salsa adds to it.
