Here's a wonderful alternative to any southwestern/Mexican dish! As much as I love Spanish rice and charro beans, sometimes nothing works as well as a green salad. And this is definitely a winner. This really isn't a recipe, just a suggestion as to what to add to your salad. Use as much/little/none of each ingredient which works for you.
SOUTHWESTERN SALAD W/CILANTRO LIME VINAIGRETTE
Dressing:
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup canola oil
1-2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1 Tbsp cider vinegar
S&P to taste
1 clove (1 tsp) garlic, minced
1/2 tsp oregano
Whisk ingredients together.
Salad ingredients:
Romaine lettuce, chopped
grape tomatoes, halved
green onions, sliced
sweet peppers (any), green, red, and/or orange
black beans
sweet corn
pumpkin seeds
avocado
cojita cheese
tortilla strips (I find prepared strips in my produce department)
Mix salad ingredients in large bowl. Dress with vinaigrette. Enjoy!
