Ingredients: 2 cups of mixed greens. 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved. 1/2 cup of black beans, drained and rinsed. 1/2 cup of corn kernels, cooked and cooled. 1/4 cup of red onion, thinly sliced. 1/4 cup of cilantro leaves. 1 ripe avocado, diced. 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. 1/4 cup of tortilla strips optional for garnish. 1/4 cup of tequila. 1/4 cup of lime juice. 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil. 1 clove of garlic, minced. 1 teaspoon of honey. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, black beans, corn, red onion, cilantro, diced avocado, and shredded cheddar cheese.
