Directions

20 min.

1. Step

Start with the dressing. Whisk together lime juice, honey, chili powder, olive oil, and seasoning in a bowl. Always remember to slowly pour in the olive oil while whisking. This creates a beautifully emulsified, flavorful dressing.

2. Step

Prep your veggies, as ingredients that are cut evenly ensure a well-textured salad. So, chop lettuce, dice tomatoes, cucumber, and avocado. Finely chop the red onion, cilantro and if you're using, jalapeno.

3. Step

In a large salad bowl, combine the lettuce, black beans, corn, tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, red onion, chopped jalapeno, and cilantro. Toss it lightly, allowing the ingredients to blend. I find this particularly important in making sure the flavors are equally distributed.

4. Step

Pour over the prepared dressing. I suggest doing this gradually while tossing the salad, again to distribute flavor evenly.

5. Step

Serve immediately. If you'll not be eating the salad straight away, keep the dressing separate until it's time to eat. This ensures the salad remains fresh and crunchy.
