I’ve been eating this Gluten Free and Dairy Free Mexican Salad recipe a lot recently. It’s perfect in this summery weather when you don’t feel like eating a hot lunch or dinner, or heating up your kitchen too much by cooking. I make this Mexican salad recipe with black beans, cherry tomatoes, avocado, bell pepper, spinach, coriander, and tortilla chips which are broken up into pieces. The tortilla chips are great crunchy ‘croutons’, and makes this salad so much more fun!

Ingredients
For the salad
- 1⅓ – 1½ cups canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 10 cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1 avocado, stoned, peeled, and roughly chopped
- 1 bell pepper, seeds removed, roughly chopped. Any colour bell pepper is fine.
- 2 cups spinach, roughly chopped
- A few sprigs coriander, roughly chopped
- 25g of gluten free tortilla chips, broken into small/medium pieces
For the Salad Dressing
- Juice from 1 – 1½ limes
- ½ – 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp of smoked paprika
- 1 tsp of chilli powder
- ⅛ tsp of cumin
- ⅛ tsp of garlic granules (optional)
How to make Mexican Salad (Gluten & Dairy Free)
1. In a small bowl, whisk together the salad dressing ingredients.
2. In a large bowl, combine the salad ingredients. Lastly, pour the salad dressing ingredients over the salad, and toss the salad well until the dressing is evenly distributed.
However, if making this salad in advance I would not add the spinach, tortilla chips or dressing until ready to serve. I don’t like it when the spinach gets wilted when making salads in advance, and the tortilla chips will become soggy if prepped in advance.
