Tips for Success:

• Flavor Profile: This tasty salad is full of yummy Southwestern flavors.
• Salsa: Use your favorite salsa as the salsa is the major flavor component for this salad.
• Low-Fat Dish Expectations: This dish was designed to be low in fat. Because it is low in fat, you are not going to experience that endorphin rush associated with eating high-fat foods when eating this dish. It is very tasty for what it is, and that is a low-fat dish. We just want to make sure that our Readers recognize this when contemplating making this recipe. If you wish to make it more indulgent, then top with chopped avocado!
• Corn: Feel free to use fresh, frozen (thawed) or canned corn.  We used canned corn.
• Green Onions: We enjoy green onions.  If you have concerns about the amount of green onions then start low and build from there.
• Regular Chili Powder: Feel free to use your favorite chili powder, just be sure to select a mild one and not one that has a lot of heat to it.
• Rice Vinegar: While rice vinegar seems odd in a Southwestern flavored salad, it adds the perfect hit of acid and sweetness.  If you wish to substitute with another vinegar, you may need to add more maple syrup.

Leftovers and Freezing:

Leftovers will generally keep 5 days in the refrigerator.  Store in a covered container.

This salad cannot be frozen.

Pantry Products:

• Salsa: We used Tostito’s Mild Salsa.  Feel free to use your favorite salsa.
• Sea Salt: Please adjust the sea salt based upon your family’s sea salt preferences and/or based upon dietary needs. 

Kitchen Products:

• Whisk (or fork)
