Provided by Happy Healthy Mama

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 hearts of romaine, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup grape tomatoes, cut into eighths
1 green onion, green part sliced
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1 cup frozen sweet corn, thawed
1 cup cooked black beans
1 small, ripe avocado
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
heaping 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
juice from 2 limes
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon minced garlic
3-5 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, or more or less to taste

Steps:

  • Put all ingredients for the salad in a large bowl and use two large forks to toss well.
  • To prepare the dressing, put the flesh of the avocado, olive oil, cilantro, lime juice, salt, 3 tablespoons water, garlic, and the Tabasco sauce into a blender or mini-food processor. I like my small, Magic Bullet blender for this.
  • Process until the dressing is very smooth. Add more water if needed for desired consistency (it will depend on the size of your avocado and how thick you like your dressing).
  • You can dress the salad and then serve, or allow each person to put the amount of dressing they desire on their individual salads. Enjoy!

1 teaspoon finely chopped onion

2 fresh tomatoes, chopped
1 -2 tablespoon chopped green chili (okay out of a can, but pat dry between papertowels)
1/2 cup chopped black olives
1 cup grated monterey jack cheese (can substitute for cheddar or pepperjack cheese)
1/2 cup crushed plain Doritos (my favorite flavor- Pepperjack, Okay to use Cool Ranch or Plain tortilla chips)
1/4 cup drained picante sauce

Steps:

  • In large bowl, toss lettuce, tomatoes, chillies, and olives.

  • Repeat the step above layering the remainder ingredients in the same order.
  • This is one of those recipes that can be changed up by adding other ingredients such as beans and using different types of cheeses.

Tips:

  • To enhance the flavor of the dressing, use high-quality olive oil and fresh herbs. Experiment with different types of vinegar to find the flavor profile you prefer.
  • For a richer dressing, add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. To make a vegan version, use silken tofu instead of sour cream.
  • For a more vibrant salad, choose a variety of colorful vegetables, such as bell peppers, tomatoes, and radishes. You can also add fresh fruit, such as mango or pineapple, for a tropical twist.
  • To save time, use pre-cooked chicken or tofu. You can also roast or grill the chicken or tofu yourself for a more flavorful result.
