Southwest Salad (Remixed)

We've been making some riff on this salad for a long time now. I used to get all complicated with the dressing, but now I chop stuff by hand and shake into a dressing. This is our go-to salad as we keep home-cooked black beans in the freezer which are ready to warm for a quick lunch. It is filling, hearty and the hubby loves it :)

Dressing: Combine the following into a dressing- play with the proportions until it tastes good!
olive oil
lime juice
garlic
chopped cilantro
salt
black pepper

Salad:
Prepare romaine or leaf lettuce. Toss with a tablespoon or 2 of the dressing. Arrange on plates.

Top with:
cooked black beans
avocado
cotjia cheese
sprinkle of chipotle pepper powder


Optional extra toppings:
corn
tomato
onion slices
scallion/green onion
