Black Bean, Corn and Romaine Salad


We just love southwestern flavours of this summer favorite salad. It is great with anything from hot dogs to grilled steak. You could add some sliced grilled chicken to the salad to make a full meal.
  • 1 head Romaine Lettuce
  • several cobs of fresh corn, cooked, cooled and kernels removed.
  • 1 can black beans
  • 1 sweet pepper, diced
  • 1 handful cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1 cup of shredded Monterrey Jack or cheddar cheese
  • 3 cups corn chips
Dressing
  • 1/2 cup guacamole .. . purchased or Judy's homemade
  • 1/2 cup of salsa
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or mayo
  • hot sauce to suit your personal taste
  • the juice of 1 lime
  • several tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
  1. Layer the lettuce, black beans, corn, cilantro and onion in your salad bowl.
  2. Arrange the cheese, red pepper, and tomatoes on the top.
  3. Make a circle of corn chips around the edge of the bowl.
  4. Combine the dressing ingredients and pour over the salad 
  5. Just before serving toss the salad and the dressing together.

  6. It looks so beautiful on the picture with the corn chips around the edge of the bowl, but do you mix the whole thing up before you serve it?

  7. Lorrie. .yes I toss the salad with the corn chips in it. Just don't do this too long before serving ..the chips will eventually get soft.
