Cowboy Ciao Salad

This is a salad that is easy to put together as you just chop up some ingredients and place them around a bowl. Drizzle on some dressing, toss together, or not, and enjoy a flavourful, healthy meal.

2 carrots, peeled and grated
1 red bell pepper, chopped
several leaves of green lettuce, chopped
about 1/4 of a head of green cabbage, sliced thinly and chopped
1 1/2 cups cooked black beans (or 1 can)
several grape tomatoes, quartered
1 cup corn (1 used frozen, thawed in boiling water, then cooled)
1 avocado, sliced

Dressing:
2 tbsps. lime juice
2 tbsps. rice vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp chipotle paste (you can make chipotle paste by dumping a can of chipotle peppers in adobe sauce into the blender, blending until smooth – just store the paste in the fridge and use whenever you want a chipotle flavour in your cooking)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp veg oil
tortilla chips
