Back to posting….We’re getting good at making up our own salads.  I can just whip one up now on the fly for dinner with things I have in the fridge/cupboard.  It’s funny, we joke about how we all have half open bags of every kind of nut and grain known to man in our cupboards.  This one makes use of canned corn and beans, also something we keep on hand in the cupboard.

Ingredients

makes 5 servings

  • 1 can organic whole kernel corn, strained
  • 1 can organic black beans, strained
  • 12 salad tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup diced cilantro
  • 2 chopped bell peppers
  • 1/2 diced red onion
  • 1 minced jalepeño
  • spring greens mix
  • small tortillas

Dressing:

  • juice from 1 lime
  • 2 TBSP olive oil
  • 1/8 TSP salt
  • 1/4 TSP pepper
  • 1/4 TSP cayenne

Whisk together dressing ingredients.  Toss dressing with salad ingredients and serve along side spring greens and tortillas.  Wrap ingredients up in tortillas to make little salad tacos.
