Ingredients

  • One 5 ounce package baby lettuce mix
  • ½ cup regular or coconut bacon
  • 2 large tomatoes diced
  • 2 avocados diced
  • 1 cup black beans
  • 1 cup corn
  • 1 bunch green onions thinly sliced
  • 1 jalapeno thinly sliced or minced, optional
  • For garnish: tortilla strips fresh cilantro

For zesty lime dressing:

  • ½ cup cashews
  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • 1-2 garlic cloves
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare dressing: Place all of the ingredients in a high speed blender or food processor. Puree until smooth. Add a little more water, if necessary, to reach the desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings, if needed. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • To assemble salads: Divide the baby lettuce mix between six large dinner plates, or in a very large, shallow bowl. Top with the remaining ingredients. Serve with the dressing on the side.

Notes

-The cashews can be soaked in a bowl of water overnight or for several hours. Rinse and drain well, then proceed with the recipe.
