Avocado Lime Salad

 A refreshing Avocado-lime salad.  You will need:


  • 2 Hearts of romaine lettuce rinsed well and chopped
  • 3-4 firm Roma tomatoes diced
  • 2 ripe avocados cut in 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1 small to medium red onion sliced into thin long strips
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/8 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed twice
  • 1 can whole kernel corn, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can julienned beets (optional)


Make sure the salad is cooled in the fridge for at least 20 min after preparing.
Prep time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4


For the dressing:
  • 1 small lime, juiced
  • 1 small lemon, juiced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste...I only use sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper for best flavor
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, add more if you feel the need to after the salad and dressing are mixed


Let it sit a few minutes before serving so the flavors blend well and transfer to a beautiful salad bowl. This is always a winner, so save some for yourself on the side.


Enjoy it in good health..xoxoxo
