For maximum flavor, the potatoes and corn kernels have been oven-roasted to replicate that yummy Mexican street-style vibe. Juicy little NatureSweet® Cherubs® tomatoes are quartered and stirred in along with delicate, tender Baby Spinach from Fresh Express. Black beans and avocado round out the flavor of this unique potato salad.  To keep meal time preparations convenient, it’s dressed with ready-made Jalapeño Ranch from Litehouse Foods – free of preservatives and artificial stuff.

Easy enough for weekday meals, Mexican “More Than” Potato Salad is also a natural for pot lucks, parties and serving groups as it can be made ahead, the recipe can be doubled or tripled, and it’s still tasty served cold out of the icebox. Leftovers (if any remain) can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days, meaning it’s also an ideal dish for meal-prepping and portioning out into single-sized servings for work lunches or for a no-fuss, no-fix dinners.
