Made this for a staff luncheon and it was a hit! Loved the dressing recipe! There was a lot of ingredients to prepare but worth it in the end.

So good! My family loved this salad. I used 4 oz olive oil instead of sour cream in the dressing and roasted thicker slices of onion (along with strips of red and yellow pepper). Otherwise made just as written. Thanks for this recipe. Will be making it again.

I I followed the recipe exactly as written. This salad was a big hit with both my husband and me. Thank you for this great recipe!

So easy and delicious! Will be making this again soon!!

This southwest salad with shrimp has it all - crisp romaine, creamy avocado, hearty black beans and straight-from-the-cob corn with sliced red onions and cilantro. Then, it's topped with perfectly, pan-seared shrimp and finished with a drizzle of honey chipotle vinaigrette for a nice little kick of heat.

Combine ingredients in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Process until smooth.

Transfer to an air tight container and refrigerate until ready to use.

For the dressing:

Top with vinaigrette and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
