Clean eating at its yummiest! I am obsessed with this salad. It’s citrusy, a tad spicy, and has a great blend of textures. Double the recipe and use it the next day in numerous ways (over eggs, with brown rice, over a chicken breast, Nacho topping, the possibilities are endless!). 1 can Black beans, drained 3-4 corn on the cobs, grilled 1 bunch asparagus, grilled Green onion, grilled then thinly sliced Radishes, thinly sliced Avocado, sliced Feta or Cojita cheese Chili-lime vinaigrette 1 part freshly squeezed lime juice 1 part EVOO or Grape Seed Oil Dash or two of chili powder Handful of cilantro, chopped s&p to taste Heat beans and add chopped asparagus, corn, radishes, green onion, and feta. Top with avocado slices and drizzle dressing on top.
