2
Gather all ingredients.
3
To make the dressing, remove the cilantro leaves from the stem and give it a rough chop. If you have a food processor, this is a great way to make your dressing. For this method, add all the ingredients except the olive oil, and with the motor running, add olive oil in a slow, steady stream and blend until smooth.
4
Crush and dice the garlic.
5
Add the juice from one lime, salt, pepper, and honey to a bowl with the cilantro.
6
Slowly pour in the olive oil while whisking to incorporate the oil into the dressing.
7
Chop the romaine lettuce into thin, bite sized strips and portion between the bowls, or into one large salad bowl.
8
Top the chopped romaine with black beans, corn, and tomatoes.
9
Add the chopped red onion and slice the avocado into thin strips.
10
Use a spoon to remove the avocado from the skin and lay it across the top of the salad. Top the salad with your homemade cilantro lime vinaigrette
