I first tried this salad at a rodeo in central California. The rodeo sponcers fed the cowboys after the show. I was lucky enough to eat with them.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups chopped romaine lettuce

1 can (15.5 oz) black beans, rinsed and well drained

3/4 cup chopped seeded tomato

3/4 cup chopped peeled jicama

3/4 cup fresh corn kernels, uncooked (or frozen or canned)

3/4 cup thinly sliced radishes

half a ripe avocado, diced

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1/4 cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese

honey-lime dressing

1/4 cup fresh lime juice

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tbsp honey

2 tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro (or more to taste)

1 garlic clove, peeled and minced

1 tsp chopped jalapeño pepper (use canned for less heat)

Directions:

1. Toss all salad ingredients in a large bowl.
2. In separate bowl, mix dressing ingredients.
3. Pour dressing over mixture and toss again.
4. Season salad with salt and pepper to taste.
