Ingredients

Salad

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 1/3 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 2 cups black bean salsa
  • 3/4 cup whole kernel corn
  • 1 medium avocado, sliced

Lime Vinaigrette

  • 3/4 teaspoon grated lime peel
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 3/4 cup olive or vegetable oil

Steps

  • 1
    In medium bowl, layer lettuce, bell pepper, 1 1/4 cups of the salsa and the corn. Top with remaining 3/4 cup salsa and the avocado.
  • 2
    In food processor or blender, process all vinaigrette ingredients except oil until mixed. Gradually pour in oil, processing until thick. Serve vinaigrette with salad.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Purchased black bean salsa adds a lot of character to this salad without extra work! Look for it near the dips in the dairy or snack chip section or in the deli of your grocery store.
  • tip 2
    For a special presentation, instead of layering the salad in a bowl, arrange the salad ingredients on individual plates and serve with the vinaigrette on the side.
  • tip 3
    Skip the shredding. Buy already-shredded lettuce in the salad section of your grocery store.
