Description
A vibrant and crunchy Mexican Chopped Salad perfect for busy weeknights, featuring fresh vegetables and a tangy lime dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup corn, fresh or canned
- 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, cherry tomatoes, corn, black beans, red bell pepper, avocado, red onion, and cilantro.

- Taste the dressing and adjust the salt. A little extra lime lifts the whole salad.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Keep the dressing separate if you plan to make this ahead to preserve crunch. Let kids help with tossing to make it a fun family event.
