Avocado-Cilantro Dressing & Tex-Mex Salad


Happy holiday, lovelies!  I have a yummy salad recipe for you today that I’ve been procrastinating because I have absolutely nothing to create a good intro with.  It’s not inspired by an old favorite, I don’t have any interesting anecdote about how I created it. 

It’s just a really good salad.  With an awesome creamy avocado dressing. 

I hope you like it too 🙂


avocado-cilantro dressing:
serves 8
1 avocado
1/2 C packed cilantro
3 T apple cider vinegar
2 t maple syrup
1 t vegan worcestershire
1/2 C water
salt & pepper to taste

Blend everything!  Add as much water as it takes to get the consistency you want your dressing to be.  I left mine like slightly thin guacamole, but you could make it pourable if you prefer!


tex-mex salad:
serves 1
1/4 C pinto beans, drained and rinsed 1 shallot, chopped
1/2 C mushrooms, chopped
1 t olive oil
1/4 C mango, chopped
2 C greens of choice
2 T dressing from the recipe above

Saute the pinto beans, shallot, and mushroom in the olive oil.  Then toss the rest of your salad together!
