Ingredients

Salad:
  • 2-3 2-3 medium romaine hearts chopped
  • 1 1 can black beans rinsed and drained
  • ½ to 1 ½ to 1 cup frozen corn thawed (or fresh corn kernels)
  • 1 1 cup chopped tomatoes or halved cherry tomatoes
  • ½ to 1 ½ to 1 cup peeled and chopped or sliced jicama
  • 1 1 cup chopped cucumbers
  • ½ ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 1 cup cubed cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • Diced avocados optional
Vinaigrette:
  • ⅓ ⅓ cup olive oil
  • ¼ ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 4 4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 to 3 2 to 3 tablespoons honey
  • ¼ ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • ¼ ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, toss together all the salad ingredients.
  2. Combine all the dressing ingredients together in a jar or blender and shake/process until well-combined. Add additional salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad to taste or serve on the side.

Notes

  • Serving Options: this makes a delicious main dish salad served with grilled chicken (on the side or chopped and added to the salad). Also, another delicious addition is crispy tortilla strips on top (think crouton, only Mexican salad style).
  • Versatile Ingredients: the ingredients for the salad (and really the dressing, too) are versatile. Play around with them to suit your tastes!
