Mexican Salad
Ingredients
SALAD
- 4 cups packed lettuce (or kale, etc.)
- 14 oz can of black beans or 1/2 cup dried beans cooked to taste
- 1 cup corn, fresh or frozen (thawed)
- 2 large bell peppers, diced
- 1-1/2 large avocado, pitted and diced
- 1 large tomato, chopped
- 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
DRESSING
- 1/2 large avocado, pitted
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Combine all salad ingredients and mix up well
- Combine dressing ingredients into a food processor or blender and process until mixed. I like to process until there are tiny bits of avocado. Feel free to use less or more water to your desired consistency.
- Serve up and enjoy!
Notes
If you REALLY want to level up your game, then serve these with corn tortillas or flour tortillas! Or just tortilla chips to get a bit of crunch with the salad.
