Mexican Salad with Subway Style Chipotle Southwest Sauce – Homemade Southwest sauce – Kids friendly recipe – Salad recipes

These days I am trying to make my salad more interesting. Of course some of the sauces are not qualified to be part of a healthy diet. Southwest sauce is something I got introduced 10 years ago during my family trip to US. The first dish I have tasted with it is pasta. When I was looking for Southwest sauce in the market couldn’t find decent one. Later when I started to have my weekend subway fix I was happy to find southwest sauce. So Southwest has been our family’s favourite for quite sometime. After starting food blog this is something I wanted to try at home. One of the key ingredients in this is Chipotle chillies. I saw this chipotle chilly in adobo sauce can in US in my last week trip and I brought it without 2nd thought. In general this sauce is done using mayonnaise. I have replaced 1/2 the qty with Greek yogurt. It is up to your preference.
