Fresh-Mex Salad

This is a great salad that is very simple with no cooking required (perfect for those hot summer nights). Although we heated up the black beans, if you truly don't want to turn on a stove you don't have to. It is also packed with protein and fiber.

ingredients:

lettuce/salad mix
can of corn
can of black beans (rinsed and well-drained)
diced bell pepper
diced jicama
diced avocado
chopped tomato
radishes (sliced)
feta cheese

for dressing:
2 tbsp. finely-chopped, fresh cilantro
1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 cup of olive oil
2 tablespoons of honey
1 garlic clove, minced
some diced jalapeno pepper, if you like some spice

Combine all and enjoy!

bom apetite!
