Scale

For the Salad

  • Dressing (recipe follows)
  • Black beans
  • Chopped sweet bell pepper
  • Sunflower seeds
  • Sliced black olives
  • Chopped Romaine lettuce

For the South of the Border Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon EACH garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper

Instructions

  1. For the dressing:
  2. Add everything to a small mason jar, put on the lid, and shake until well combined. Makes enough dressing for about 3 salads in a jar.
  3. To assemble the salad:
  4. In a pint mason jar add the dressing, black beans, chopped “extras” and then lettuce (in that order). Pack the jars pretty tight. Add a lid and store in the fridge. When you are ready to eat dump the jar into a bowl and stir to combine or shake the jar very well and eat from the jar.
