Mexican Broccoli Salad:
I am in love with this Mexican Broccoli Salad, it has all the comfort of a burrito bowl complete with sweet corn, black beans, creamy avocado and spinach. For me it checks all the boxes of a great salad. This giant salad with homemade crema-cilantro dressing will soon become a party favorite.
Truth time, I have been eating this salad for lunch and dinner for about a week. I just couldn’t help myself, it was that good. I normally don’t go for salads. At least not at home. I do like going out for a great salad. I like this salad because anything with corn, black beans and cheese…yumm. I added large tomatillos, jalapenos, and avocado for that extra Mexican flavor, along with the cilantro in the dressing. Lastly spinach, broccoli and onion for that extra crunch takes me straight to my happy place!
The dressing is simply Mexican crema, cilantro puree, honey, lime and white wine vinegar. So tasty! I will be using it on other salads.
Enjoy!
