Southwestern Salad with Avacado


Oh my gosh, this is so great that I had it for breakfast, dinner and supper yesterday. Made another batch when I came home from grocery shopping tour last evening. I then had it for breakfast this morning. It is my new favorite dish. (that changes about every week)


Ingredients:


  • 15 oz. can pinto beans-I used black beans-low sodium-drained and rinsed

  • 1 cup grape tomatoes-cut in half

  • 3/4 cup fresh or frozen corn

  • 4-5 green onions-chopped with some of the greens included

  • 1/4 cut cilantro-chopped

  • 1 ripe avocado

  • 3/4 cup prepared salsa

  • 1/4 cup low sodium sour cream

  • 3 Tablespoon lime juice

  • several drops Siracha Hot Chili Sauce

  • Mrs. Dash Southwestern Chipole Seasoning

  • Corn tortilla chips -low sodium-optional

  • Baby greens of choice


Directions:


  1. Combine the first 5 ingredients in a mixing bowl.

  2. Mash avocado.

  3. Add sour cream and salsa.

  4. Mix well and pour over the ingredients in the bowl.

  5. Refrigerate several hours before serving.

  6. Serve on a bed of baby greens, topped with a few chips.

  7. Add the salad on top.


Oh my gosh this is just the best!!!!!


Enjoy!!


Have a super wonderful day.

it might be good but that white sauce all over it is not very appealing. what if you just put the tomotoes on top and not mixed in?
