Fiesta Salad, Day One

In an effort to spice up our usual veggie rotation I recently decided to make a new salad every day for the next 30 days.  Today the journey begins.  To start myself off I went with a tried and true recipe that I like to call fiesta salad.  It is typically served as a dip and with a few tortilla chips my kids love it.  Us adults love it in a bowl with a spoon.

Fiesta Salad/Dip

1 can black beans ~ today I used a can of jalepeno spiced black beans which added a nice kick
2 ears of corn ~ I boiled them for about 5 minutes and then remove the corn from the cob with a knife
1 large tomato ~ diced
2 ripe avocados ~ diced
2 Tbsp. fresh cilantro ~ chopped
1/2 red onion ~ diced small

Dressing
1 package Good Seasonings Italian dressing mix
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup white vinegar


Whisk vegetable oil, vinegar, and dressing mix.  Pour over diced veggies and mix well.  I like to make this an hour or so before serving so the flavors have time to combine.
