Recipe: Southwestern Caesar Salad with Chipotle Dressing for Eunice/NV

Hi Eunice :-) While this is not the recipe from Jack-in-the-Box, I thought it might give you a place to start. I will also post a recipe for Creamy Italian Dressing from this site. You could leave out the Italian herbs and use chili powder, cumin, chipotle chilies, salsa or whatever is in the recipe you are looking for. You could also use lemon or lime juice instead of the vinegar called for. Let us know how you fair with your copycat recipe.

SOUTHWESTERN CAESAR SALAD WITH CHIPOTLE DRESSING

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoon canned low-salt chicken broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoon minced canned chipotle chilies (in adobo sauce)
1 teaspoon brown sugar

1 large head romaine lettuce, cut into bite-size pieces
2 medium tomatoes, seeded, diced
1/2 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed, drained
4 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Whisk mayonnaise, chicken broth, soy sauce, lemon juice, chipotles and brown sugar in medium bowl to blend. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. (Dressing can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Mix lettuce, tomatoes and corn in large bowl. Add dressing and 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese and toss to coat. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese and serve.

Serves 4.
