MEXICAN SALAD WITH HONEY LIME DRESSING

Mexican Salad With Honey Lime Dressing image

I found this at the MyFoodDiary.com forums, but originally it comes from SELF magazine. The original salad used radishes, but I substitute green onions instead. Healthy fats in this salad, but I've also reduced the amount of oil in the dressing. Sometimes I eat the leftovers in a tortilla as a sort of veggie or salad wrap.

1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
3/4 cup tomatoes, seeded and chopped
3/4 cup jicama, peeled and chopped

3/4 cup green onion, chopped
1/2 ripe avocado, peeled and diced

Tips:

Use a sharp knife to chop the vegetables for a clean, even cut.
For a more flavorful salad, try roasting the corn and black beans before adding them to the salad.
If you don't have any fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro instead. Just use about 1/4 of the amount called for in the recipe.
The honey-lime dressing is the perfect complement to this salad. Be sure to whisk it well before pouring it over the salad.
This salad is best served immediately, but it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
