2 tomatoes, quartered

½ cucumber, sliced

½ jicama, peeled and sliced

½ cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained

1 avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced

Instructions:

To Prepare Dressing:

Add cilantro, garlic, mayonnaise, vinegar and lime juice to food processor or blender and mix at medium speed for about a minute. Add ¼ cup of olive oil and mix at medium high speed until creamy in texture. Add more oil if dressing is too thick.

To Prepare Salad:

In a large bowl, toss together lettuce, corn, tomato, cucumber, jicama and black beans. Place sliced avocado on the top of salad. Serve with cilantro dressing.

Preparation Tips:

Mayonnaise gives the dressing a creamy texture. But, you can substitute with non-fat, plain yogurt or low-fat sour cream.
