Fiesta Chopped Salad

(serves 2 large salads, or 4 smaller side salads)

Ingredients:
4 cups of your favorite lettuce, washed, dried and roughly chopped ( I used romaine and butter lettuce)
1/2 cup corn
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 cup black beans
1 large avocado, roughly chopped
1/4 cup diced red onion
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or chopped.  ( for vegetarian version, substitute with extra black, pinto or garbanzo beans)

Recommended Dressing:  Homemade Cilantro Lime Ranch Dressing

  1. Place lettuce on bottom of the bowl. Top with the remaining ingredients.

  3. PS…. it also packs up great for lunch! Just squeeze some lemon juice over the avocado to prevent browning and pack dressing on the side. YUM!Fiesta Chopped Salad in a white bowl with a fork next to the bowl
