Tuna Black Bean Chipotle Salad with Cilantro Avocado Dressing ~ this salad is bright, colorful, nutritious, and absolutely delicious! Perfect for lunch, dinner, as a side dish or even an appetizer.
I have to say the food here in South Florida is just amazing! Everywhere you go, there are a ton of restaurants, coffee shops and even food trucks serving great food.
We have been here only about 3 weeks and my waistline is already feeling bigger. It is time to lighten the meals up a bit even if it’s only for a day. So today, I share with you this light and refreshing Tuna Black Bean Chipotle Salad with Cilantro Avocado Dressing.
Salads are such a great option for when you need a meal that can be made easily and quickly. The best part is that you can add different ingredients and make a different salad every single time.
This one is a plate filled with black beans, canned tuna and great delicious fresh vegetables like lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, bell peppers and corn seasoned with salt and chili chipotle powder to add a little western flavor.
I also made a creamy cilantro avocado dressing, which I heavily drizzled over the salad because it is my favorite! I mean if I could bathe in that stuff, I so would.
