I know this is not an original concept or anything unique, but I have loved this salad. It started out as a throw-together-whatever-we-have salad and has ended up a family favorite. Sorry the ingredients aren't very specific. I usually don't cook with recipes, I cook with pictures (which could explain the
lack of recipes on our recipe blog...).
Ingredients
1-2 TBS olive oil
1-2 large peppers or 4-5 small peppers (red, yellow, orange)
2-3 cloves minced garlic
1 small onion, chopped or sliced
1-2 TBS taco seasoning
1/2-1 cup frozen corn
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 head green leaf lettuce, rinsed, dried and shredded
1/4 cup fresh mozzarella, diced
1/4-1/3 cup low fat ranch dressing
Directions
1. Sauté onion, peppers, and garlic in olive oil until peppers begin to become tender.
2. Add rinsed black beans, frozen corn, and taco seasoning and sauté until warmed through.
3. Place lettuce, ranch, and mozzarella in large bowl.
4. Add bean, pepper and corn mixture to lettuce. Bean mixture can either be added warm, room temperature, or cold, as is your preference.
5. Toss salad and serve.
Very quick and easy, delicious, low fat, good protein, dinner great for summer.
