It\u2019s finally June and Father\u2019s Day is around the corner. Instead of giving Dad a tie, make him a salad he\u2019s going to love. This exceptional southwest-inspired salad will pair beautifully with his favourite grilled meat and a nice cold beer.<\/p>\n

In the height of summer, you won\u2019t find a better side dish. This salad tastes and looks like summer and you don\u2019t even have to heat up your kitchen to make it! I love the array of bright colours, varied textures, and tangy, spicy dressing. For this reason, it\u2019s my choice of salad to bring along to barbeque, picnic or pot luck. It pairs beautifully with so many different proteins and also makes a hearty main dish for a vegetarian.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s in this salad<\/h2>\n

This salad is super easy to assemble with a handful of simple ingredients. Fill a bowl with sweet corn kernels, meaty black beans, crisp cucumbers, bright red bell peppers, fresh spring green onions, cilantro, and avocado. A cumin-garlic-lime dressing blends these bright and fresh salad ingredients together beautifully.<\/p>\n

Let me tell you a little more about the dressing. The cumin-garlic-lime dressing comes together in flash and is insanely delicious. It\u2019s a little tangy from the lime, smoky from the cumin, and spicy from the garlic and cayenne pepper. Double the dressing recipe and you\u2019ll thank me later! Store the extra dressing in a mason jar in the refrigerator and use it for other salads throughout the week.<\/p>\n
