- 1 avocado peeled, pitted and sliced
- 1 cup black beans
- 1/4 cup cotija cheese finely crumbled
- 1/3 cup tortilla strips
For the dressing
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 cup cilantro leaves chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
For the salad
- Place the lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, corn, avocado and black beans in a large bowl.

Notes
- You can chop your own romaine lettuce, or use the pre-prepared bags of lettuce to save a little time.
- Fresh, thawed from frozen and canned corn kernels all work well in this dish.
- Choose a ripe, yet firm avocado so that it won't get mushy when tossed in the salad.
- You can use halved cherry tomatoes or diced plum tomatoes.
