Mexican salad

This Mexican salad is one of my favourites because it’s so tasty and has all the right stuff to make it a full meal on its own. It’s also quick and easy to throw together. 

Ingredients:

For the lime dressing:

• 1 garlic clove, peeled and minced
• ¼ cup fresh lime juice
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp chopped chilli (or a pinch of chilli flakes)

For the salad:

• ½ cup baby spinach leaves, shredded
• 1 red pepper, finely chopped
• ½ small red onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium zucchini, finely chopped
• 1 medium tomato, finely chopped
• ½ tin corn
• ½ tin red kidney beans
• ¼ cup coriander, finely chopped

Method:

1. Combine lime juice, garlic, honey, coriander and chilli. Stir to combine. In a slow, steady stream, add the oil, stirring continuously with a fork or small whisk.
2. Assemble all ingredients apart from coriander in a large bowl and toss well with the dressing.
3. Top with coriander and serve.
