brad kramer's salad

if you know brad kramer, you may know he's an amazing cook. our relationship works well with the kramers: they love to cook, we love to eat. some people are just meant for each other.

relish:

• 1 can black beans
• 1 can corn
• red pepper (optional)
• olive oil (just a little -- i actually leave it out)
• cumin
• salt and pepper

salsa:

• tomatoes and red onion, ratio 2:1
• cilantro, finely chopped

tortilla strips:

• cut flour tortillas into thin strips and fry (not deep fry) in pan until brown. quickly remove and put on paper towel. sprinkle with salt. nate and i eat about half of these before they even make it to the table.

dressing:

• BBQ sauce, sweetened with a little bit of honey
• spicy ranch dressing (equal parts of ranch and BBQ sauce)

chicken strips: cooked and cut into strips, flavored if you want.

Serve everything over romaine lettuce. Makes a full meal and is very, very yummy.
