Ingredients
Roasted Tomato Vinaigrette
- 1/2 cup fire roasted tomatoes
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup white vinegar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp Mexican oregano
- 1/2 tsp sugar
Salad
- 1 head red leaf lettuce leaves
- 1 avocado seeded and cubed
- 1 lime juice
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 14 oz black beans
- 8 oz corn kernels
- 1 Jicama peeled and cubed (2 cups)
Garnish
- 1 red onion rings
- 1/4 cup pepitas (roasted pumpkin seeds)
- 1/4 cup cotija cheese crumbled
Instructions
Roasted Tomato Vinaigrette
- You will be mixing this in a blender or use a hand blender (stick blender), so use appropriate mixing jar.
- To the jar add the roasted tomatoes, salt, red pepper flakes, garlic powder and vinegar. Blend and slowly drizzle in olive oil to emulsify and thicken.
- Season to taste with sugar and add the Mexican oregano. Stir to mix (See Note 1) and allow to rest 30 minutes before using. Serve over salad or as a dipping sauce room temperature, but best chilled.
Salad
- Cube the avocado and toss with lime juice in small bowl. Set aside.
- Wash and tear half of the red leaf lettuce leaves and layer on platter. Chop remaining and scatter on top.
- Arrange remaining salad ingredients and cubed avocado in rows on top of chopped lettuce.
- Garnish salad with red onion rings, pepitas, cheese and drizzle Roasted Tomato Vinaigrette over all. Toss to mix before serving.
Notes
- I stir the Mexican oregano in as opposed to blending as the green blended with the red tomato turns the vinaigrette a brown color, but that is optional and up to your own preferences.
