Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Romaine lettuce
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 large Cucumber
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Cilantro
- 1 cup Black beans
- 1 cup Corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 2 cups Tortilla chips
- 1 large Lime
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
Instructions
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce, then chop it into bite-sized pieces. Add to a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the salad bowl.
Peel and dice the cucumber into small chunks. Add to the bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion and add to the salad.
Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and add them to the mixture.
Drain and rinse the black beans, then add them to the salad bowl along with the corn kernels.
Crumble the tortilla chips into bite-sized pieces and set aside for later (do not add them yet to prevent sogginess).
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of the lime, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and ground cumin to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything gently to combine.
Just before serving, sprinkle the crushed tortilla chips over the salad to maintain their crunch.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
