Instructions
Rinse and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large salad bowl.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the lettuce.
Rinse and drain the black beans, then add them to the salad bowl.

Dice the avocado into small cubes and add to the mixture.
Finely chop the cilantro and sprinkle over the salad.
In a blender or food processor, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt, chipotle pepper, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth to create the dressing.
Pour the chipotle dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is well-coated.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
