I have this salad I make all the time that reminds me of the Chop't salads in DC. It's so tasty and so healthy and it's gorgeous.






Dressing- equal parts lime juice and olive oil, mnced garlic, cumin, and salt



1 cup to 1 1/2 cups diced tomoto, or halved cherry tomatoes



1/2 can black beans, rinsed



1/2 cup corn



orange bell pepper, grilled or broiled, roughly diced



half an avocado, diced



all of the cilantro



half a head of romaine, chopped






It doesn't need much dressing at all, with the avocado in there. It's so pretty, with the black beans, yellow corn, bright red tomato, orange bell pepper. It can't be a red or yellow pepper- you already have red tomatoes and yellow corn. IT HAS TO BE ORANGE, OK. Also, throw some salt and maybe some hot sauce in when you toss it all together. I always seem to foget this part. This is one of those dinners to eat when you're really hungry... because it's so big and filling and delightful but you feel so good after you eat it, because it's nutritionally perfect.
