Southwestern Chopped Salad with Cilantro Dressing

This salad lasted us two meals (since there are only two of us) but it was delicious. And pretty easy to make.

Ingredients
Large head of romaine
15 oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 large orange bell pepper
1 pint cherry tomatoes
2 cups corn 
5 green onions
Optional: avocado

{For the dressing} 
1 cup loosely packed cilantro, stems removed and roughly chopped
1/2 avocado (or 1/2 cup plain vegan yogurt or Greek yogurt)
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice (about 1/2 lime), more to taste
1-2 garlic cloves
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 tsp. white wine vinegar
1/8 tsp. salt
Recommended: agave/honey, cumin

Directions
Make the dressing: puree all ingredients in a food processor/blender until smooth. 
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.

Finely chop romaine, bell pepper, tomatoes, and green onions.

Place all ingredients in a large bowl and stir to combine.

Toss with desired dressing.
