Home Concoctions: Carlo's "Mexican" Salad

My brother Carlo came up with this recipe while we were in the flat which I share with him on school days. Carlo calls this a Mexican salad, but to be honest, it's not a recipe unique to the Mexican cuisine. The only reason he calls it Mexican is he adds refried beans, salsa, and nachos. The time he whipped it up for us at home, he used Doritos instead.

The salad was surprisingly tasty and very filling. It's ideal for university students.

Romaine lettuce

Salsa (ready-made or homemade will do. My brother used the Tostitos mild salsa)

Canned corn (whole kernels)

Ripe mango

Refried beans (Any brand will do)

Nachos or Doritos

Wash and spin the lettuce before arranging it on a plate. Heat up the refried beans and spread it out over the lettuce. Spoon some salsa over the lettuce and refried beans. Next, cut the mango and get the meat from its cheeks with a spoon. Place it on the salad before adding the nachos or Doritos. Voila! Eat and enjoy!

Easy, simple, and filling enough to be a meal on its own. My brother and I had a lot of fun assembling this dish. Nothing like heavily-topped salad which pretends to be healthy. Hahahaha. 

Until always,
