    This is a fun, refreshing salad that is great for lunch or dinner. This recipe makes one entree sized salad, but feel free to double, triple, or make it for a crowd!

    Southwest Chopped Salad (vegan & gluten free)

    serves one

    2 cups chopped lettuce (romaine or iceberg will work)
    ½ cup chopped cucumber
    corn cut from ½ cob
    5 or 6 grape tomatoes, halved
    ¼ avocado, diced
    ¼ cup black beans, rinsed and drained
    ½ green onion, chopped

    For the dressing:
    juice of 1 lime
    ⅛ teaspoon cumin
    2 teaspoons coconut water (regular water will work)
    ¼ teaspoon stevia (sugar or agave nectar will work)
    jalapeno hot sauce to taste
    ¼ teaspoon chopped cilantro

    In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the dressing. Set aside while you assemble the salad.

    Layer your salad ingredients on a plate for presentation, or toss everything in a big bowl. For layering, start with the lettuce, then top with cucumbers, corn, tomatoes, avocado, black beans, then the green onions. Drizzle the dressing over the salad, and enjoy!
