Southwestern Salad With Cumin Vinaigrette
- FOR THE SALAD:
- 1 cup Frozen Corn
- 1 cup Baby Spinach
- 1-1/2 cup Romaine Lettuce
- 1 can Hearts Of Palm, 14 Oz Can
- 1 can Kidney Beans, 14 Oz Can
- 1 can Garbanzo Beans, 14 Oz Can
- 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
- 1/2 whole Jicama
- 1/4 cups Tortilla Chips, Crumbled
- FOR THE VINAIGRETTE:
- 5 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 4 Tablespoons White Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1. Cook the corn according to the package directions, then set aside to cool.
- 2. Tear the spinach and lettuce into bite sized pieces and toss together in a large salad bowl. Drain and slice the hearts of palm and add them to the bowl. Drain and rinse both cans of beans. Remove 1/2 cup of the garbanzo beans and save for another purpose. Add all of the remaining beans to the bowl. Cut the cherry tomatoes in 1/2, and add them into the bowl.
- 3. Rinse and cut off the outside of the jicama, then dice it. You should end up with about a cup of diced jicama. Add it into the salad bowl.
- 4. Once corn has cooled to about room temperature, it can be added to the bowl as well. Toss everything together.
- 5. Combine all the vinaigrette ingredients in a small mason jar with a lid and shake vigorously to combine. Alternately you can whisk them together in a small bowl. This vinaigrette separates easily, so it will need to be shaken or whisked just before serving.
- 6. Divide the salad among four bowls, sprinkle each with about 1/4 of the tortilla chip crumbles. Then toss each salad with about 2 tablespoons of the dressing. Serve immediately.
