When Ree was putting together a last-minute dinner party menu, she conjured up this side salad using whatever she had on hand in her fridge and pantry. It proved to be a real showstopper!

  1. For the dressing: Add the crema, cilantro, garlic, lime juice and zest and jalapeño to a bowl. Whisk to combine. Fold in the Cotija and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  2. For the salad: Add the romaine and half of the black beans, corn, Cotija, tomatoes and chips to a bowl.
  3. Top with half of the dressing and toss to combine. Tip onto a platter, then top with the remaining black beans, corn, Cotija, tomatoes and chips. Drizzle over a few tablespoons more dressing and serve with the remaining dressing on the side.
