Southwestern Chopped Salad with Cilantro-Lime Dressing

INGREDIENTS

• 1 large head romaine
• 15 oz. can black beans
• 1 orange bell pepper
• 1 pint grape tomatoes *
• 2 cups sweet corn, cooked
• 5 green onions
• 1 batch Creamy Cilantro-Lime Dressing

INSTRUCTIONS

1. 1 Make dressing: Prepare the Creamy Cilantro-Lime Dressing. (Or make this ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until you're ready. It can be made and stored for a couple days in advance.)
2. 2 Prepare veggies: Chop the romaine, bell pepper, tomatoes, and green onions. Cook the corn if needed. Rinse and drain the black beans.
3. 3 Assemble: Place all salad ingredients in a large bowl.
4. 4 Finish: Pour the desired amount of dressing over the salad. (I use the full batch for a heavily-dressed salad, but you can use less if desired.)
