caption: (A specialty is pizza, like this thin-crust creation topped with spinach, mushrooms and sausage.) The salad was outstanding, beautifully balancing mixed greens, corn kernels, tomatoes, shredded cheese, black beans and tortilla strips with chipotle ranch dressing. The dressing tasted smokey and complex. ``It's rare to find a Southwest salad of this caliber and big enough to share,'' a dining companion said. A sampler basket featured fried mushrooms, mozzarella sticks, onion rings and jalapeño poppers with marinara sauce. The zippy poppers with their mild kick was a favorite.
