This was a delicious salad that I have seen floating around Pinterest for a while and have been wanting to make. Since the salad was rather large, I decided to combine day 5 and 6 since I ate it on both days! It includes a variety of vegetables and black beans - which are my absolute favorite - and avocados and cilantro! I modified the dressing a bit to make it less tangy and more sweet. There is no recipe per se (that I recorded), so here is what I came up with:
Salad:
- 2 green onions sliced
- 1 tomato sliced
- 1/2 cup of frozen corn
- 1 pepper (any colour - though I prefer orange or red!)
- 1/4 cup cilantro (from the garden!!)
- 1 can of black beans
- 1 avocado sliced near the end
Dressing:
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/4 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Salt & Pepper
- 3 TBSP Lemon juice (or more, if needed)
- Cumin
- 1tbsp Brown sugar
Blend this together in a blender or mini food processor, mix in with the veggies and voila! You have a simple and tasty salad!

| All the vegetables (you can pretty much add whatever you have in the fridge!) |

| A lovely ripe avocado added at the very end! |

| The end product! A great compliment to grilled chicken or grilled fish! |
