Black Bean & Corn Kale Salad with Garlic Avocado Dressing


I found a recipe for Avocado Dressing from Tosca Reno online, and it sounded amazing. I love guacamole, and I also love garlic in guacamole, and thought, this recipe sounds great, but I need to change it to make it how I like it. So, I added garlic! I created a salad that would be perfect for it as well with black beans and corn!!! Again, I use as many organic ingredients as I can find. I was surprised because in our little town in Northern Alberta, I found organic corn. It was in a can, but it was organic. 

Garlic Avocado Dressing

Ingredients:

2 Avocados, peeled and pitted
2 Tbsp fresh parsley
2 Tbsp fresh basil
3 cloves garlic diced
1 cup water
Dash of Himalayan Salt                              

Combine everything in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. This will be very creamy, so just add water if it is too creamy. 


Black Bean and Corn Kale Salad

Chopped Kale
Chopped Romaine Lettuce
Green Onions
Black Beans
Corn

Before combining, make sure to massage the dressing into the Kale. I always massage the Kale before combining it with the other ingredients, as it really changed the texture of the Kale, and it tastes sweeter. Just take the dressing and rub it into the Kale with your fingers. Let it sit for about 5 minutes. Then combine it with the rest of the ingredients. Add as much of each ingredient as you like. I was thinking a few Organic Tortillas chips crushed into this salad would taste good as well. But go ahead, experiment for yourself!
