Prep time: 20 min
Total time: 20 min
Yield: 6-8 servings.
Cuisine: North America, Mexican
Ingredients: 2 quarts salad greens; 2 medium tomatoes, cut into wedges; 1 bunch green onions, sliced; 1 can (2-1/4 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained; 1 small ripe avocado, peeled; 1/2 cup sour cream; 1/4 cup vegetable oil; 2 tablespoons lemon juice; 1/2 teaspoon sugar; 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt; 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes; 1 to 2 cups corn chips

I was raised in Southern California, not far from the Mexican border. That explains why I like Mexican food as much as I do. Much of my cooking...even when I'm making "American dishes"...is heavily influenced by the kinds of foods and flavors I tasted as a youngster growing up just north of the border.
