Mexican Spinach Salad

Unfortunately I made this salad last year and never got the photo for it.  I typed up the recipe already so I thought I’d just post it anyway.

I forgot the beans!  It still tasted ok, but no protein.  I had leftover sour cream, which inspired this dressing.  Its another creamy light green dressing.

Ingredients

makes 4 servings

  • 1 bag of spinach
  • 1 cup mexican blend of cheeses, grated
  • 1/2 cup pepitas
  • 1 red pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2.5 avocados, cubed
  • 1/2 bag of frozen corn, defrosted
  • 1/3 cup red onion, diced
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained

Dressing:

  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 2 Tablespoons sour cream
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons water
  • juice from 1/2 lime
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Mix dressing ingredients in a mini food processor until smooth.  Toss all salad ingredients (except avocado) with dressing.  Top with avocado cubes.
