My sister made this Mexican salad to go with an enchilada dinner and I thought it looked really good!
4 cups fresh baby spinach
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1 cup avocado, diced
1 cup black beans, canned – drained & rinsed
1/3 cup cilantro, chopped
salt + fresh black pepper
Dressing
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 lime, zested
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon honey or agave
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
Dressing: In a jar with a lid, [a mason jar works well] add olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, salt, honey, and vinegar. Seal and shake well. Place in the refrigerator for about 2 hours or until ready to serve
In a large mixing bowl, add spinach and the drizzle a little bit of the dress over and toss. Mix in the tomatoes, avocado, black beans and cilantro. Add a little more of the dressing and toss – add more of less depending on your preference. Season with salt + pepper, to taste.
This could be a stand alone entree and would be good with grilled chicken on top if eating it as the main course.
