I made this for some friends on July 4Th and it was super yummy!
As requested, here is the recipe : )
Ingredients:
Romaine Lettuce (chopped fine)
1 red onion (diced)
Roma tomatoes (diced)
Avocado (diced)
1 Jicama (cut into thin strips about 2" long and 1mm thick)
Roasted corn kernels (about 2 cobs worth of kernels. You can use canned corn if time is an issue)
1 can of pinto or black beans
Dressing
This dressing is the secret to this salad. It is very simple but the dressing makes it!
1/4 cup Apple cider vinegar
2 Tablespoon of olive oil
1 Tablespoon cumin powder
roughly chopped cilantro (add as much or as little as you like)
1 small can Chili in adobo sauce
1 Tablespoon of agave nectar
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 3 limes squeezed)
Sea salt and pepper to taste
Combine apple cider vinegar, cilantro, lime juice, agave nectar in a food processor. Mix until infused. Take 1 Chili from adobo sauce. They are Very spicy so you may even want to just do 1/2 a chili. For less spice do not put seeds in. You could even just use the sauce for the flavor. Add to other ingredients and blend in food processor until mixed well.
Meanwhile. heat olive oil in small saucepan over medium heat. Add cumin to olive oil and heat for no more than 1 minute, just until spices have opened and are aromatic. Add to the remaining ingredients and stir until combined.
Toss together salad and dressing. For added flavor, I also added crumbled goat cheese to my salad. you could also add feta cheese, Gorgonzola or Cojita cheese.
You may also want to top with crispy tortilla strips for added crunch.
Enjoy!
Please post comments if you make it. Love to see what you think : )
