Mexican Chopped Salad
recipe based on a Tex-Mex Salad recipe from the Food Network Magazine

1/4 light sour cream
2 T fresh lime juice
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
pepper to taste
1 head of iceberg lettuce, shredded  (if you have a really large head of lettuce, only use 1/2 head)
1/2 cup of chopped tomatoes, whatever you have on hand
1/3 cup chopped scallions
1/3 cup shredded cheddar

In a large bowl, mix up your dressing first.   Combine the greek yogurt, light sour cream, lime juice, sugar, salt, pepper, and cilantro until well combined (a pictured below).

The creamy dressing - yummy!

Then add the chopped veggies and shredded cheese...

toss the salad and serve immediately! Do not add the veggies to the dressing until you are ready to eat.  Enjoy!
