7 Layer Salad


Seven Layer Salad with Creamy Salsa Vinaigrette :)) !! Might as well share this one too! It's amazing. YUMSource: SoupAddict (link below).
Ingredients (organic and non-GMO whenever possible):
- For the Dressing
1/2 cup Greek yogurt or coconut milk
1/2 cup your favorite mild or medium Salsa
2 tablespoons mayonnaise or Earth Balance vegannaise <-- I would use "Just Mayo" by Hampton Creek. It's ‪#‎vegan‬. :))
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon olive oil (unrefined, cold-pressed, extra-virgin)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 heaping tablespoon chopped green onions
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
- For the Salad
1 to 2 heads romaine lettuce, roughly chopped
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed <--avoid canned food if at all possible; most canned foods are a source of the endocrine disrupting chemical BPA.
1 medium red onion, sliced or chopped, your choice
1/2 cup green olives, sliced
3/4 cup corn kernels (thawed from frozen or fresh from the cob - no need to cook) <-- you can purchase frozen non-GMO verified sweet corn in the freezer section of most grocery stores. If you're scared, you could always sub fresh mango.
1 avocado, pit removed, peeled and chopped
1 orange bell pepper, chopped
3 cups cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered (about 2 cups after slicing)
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, dill, and/or basil, chopped
