Santa Fe Salad Remix

A layered Southwestern salad with bold, tangy vinaigrette, creamy chili-spiced sour cream, and crunchy elements. Uses black beans swapped for pinto and kale instead of romaine to boost texture and nutrition. Corn kernels replaced with grilled zucchini chunks for a smoky edge. Quick assembly, resting enhances flavor melding. No eggs, nuts, gluten free, vegetarian. Play with acidity balance in dressing. Watch avocado timing to avoid browning. Cumin adds depth to chili seasoning. Fresh garlic punched in vinaigrette, but watch for bitterness. Ideal for casual dinners or light lunches. Crunch and cream perfect contrast.
