Cuban Salad
Cuban salads typically are refreshing, yet uncomplicated, and they're always a nice addition to what often can be a heavy Cuban meal. Served with a loaf of crusty Cuban bread isn't a bad idea either!
Ingredients
-
2 heads romaine lettuce, chopped
-
4 medium tomatoes (such as Campari®), cut into wedges
-
2 medium avocados - peeled, pitted, and cubed
-
1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced
-
½ (15.5 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
-
¼ cup fresh lime juice
-
1 teaspoon honey
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
½ teaspoon ground cumin

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
Description
-
Combine romaine, tomatoes, avocados, onion, and black beans in a large bowl; toss to combine.

Whisk lime juice, honey, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. While constantly whisking, stream in the olive oil until dressing is well combined.
