Ingredients
FOR THE SALAD:
- 2 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 cup sweet corn cooked
- 1 cup black beans cooked
- 10 cherry or plum tomatoes cut into halves

FOR THE AVOCADO DRESSING:

- ½ cup plain yogurt thick
- 1 clove garlic peeled and minced
- 2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves chopped
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 jalapeño chopped
- ½ tsp pepper powder
Instructions
PREPARATION OF SALAD:
- Wash the greens thoroughly and pat them dry on a kitsch towel.
- Tear them up into smaller bite size.
- Mix all the salad ingredients in a bowl.
PREPARATION OF AVOCADO DRESSING:
- Add avocado pulp, yogurt, chili, garlic, coriander into a food processor.
- Process till you get a smooth creamy mixture.
- Add salt, pepper and lime juice.
- Pulse for 2-3 seconds.
- Remove the dressing into a bowl.
SERVING:
- I usually prefer to serve the salad with the dressing on the side. That way people can add dressing according to their preference.
Notes
- You can add other vegetables like bell pepper, chopped onion, olives, carrots etc.
- Use green chili instead of jalapeño
- Use leftover dressing as a dip.
- For vegan version of dressing omit dairy yogurt and use vegan yogurt. Or simply add some water. You will still get a creamy dressing.
