Southwest Salad with Jalapeno Avocado Lime Dressing
It's time to kick off summer. It's time to put your hair in a ponytail, pull out the beach towels, and get out in the sun. It's time for watermelon slices, corn on the cob, and picnics. I think this also means it's time for picnic foods... easy dishes that you can share with friends and family and quick go-to meals that you can pack for yourself regardless of where you are headed. No matter what you are up to this summer, this salad fits the bill.
We start with a hearty bed of fresh greens and top it with corn, ripe tomatoes, black beans, bell peppers, and a spicy-sweet jalapeno avocado lime dressing. Flax seed crackers are completely optional, but they add a fun crunch and are perfect for easy and healthy snacks (goodbye tortilla chips!). What are you waiting for? Make this salad and get out there!
