southwestern salad

Beans, corn, avocado

A southwestern salad is a salad featuring ingredients associated with the cuisine of the American Southwest and northern Mexico.

Typical components include black beans, corn, tomatoes, avocado, and peppers, often dressed with a creamy chipotle or cilantro-lime vinaigrette and topped with tortilla strips: I ordered the southwestern salad with grilled chicken.
