Layered Mexican Salad

By barbsjustagirl

To make this much lower calorie I personally would not add the mayonnaise to the top and allow people to add their own dressing.

Ingredients

• 4 * 4 cups torn romaine
• 1 * 1 large cucumber, peeled, halved and sliced
• 3 * 3 medium tomatoes, chopped
• 2 * 2 medium ripe avocados, peeled and sliced
• 2 * 2 large green peppers, chopped
• 1-1/2 * 1-1/2 cups mayonnaise
• 1/4 * 1/4 cup canned chopped green chilies
• 2 * 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1/2 * 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 * 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 * 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 * 1 cup crushed tortilla chips
