  • 1 ice berg lettuce chopped

  • ½ cup roasted corn
  • 1 avocado
  • cherry tomatos

  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp taco seasoning
  • 1 clove garlic minced

Instructions

Dressing

  • Add everything into a jar and twist on the lid and shake until everything is well combined. You can also mix/whisk everything in a bowl as well.

Salad

  • Assemble all the veggies in a plate or bowl and drizzle on the dressing as little or much as you want and enjoy!

Notes

  • I used Trader Joe's Jalapeño chips as crotons but you can use any crotons of choice or tortilla strips. 
  • Store the extra dressing in a airtight container in the fridge. 
  • I buy my canned adobe peppers at the grocery store, its located in the International section next to all the beans and other Mexican foods.
