MexiKale Salad

Inspired by Wegmans

I loved this salad idea from Wegmans but I wanted to use some ingredients that I knew my family would enjoy.  This salad makes a ton making it great for a cookout or potluck.  The salad dressing is light and refreshing.  Great for hot summer days.  

You could also add chicken for a full meal.

Ingredients

Dressing:

1/4 cup lime juice

1/2 cup EVOO

1/4 cup honey

1 green onion, sliced

salt

Salad:

1 - 16oz bag of Kale

1.5 cup frozen corn, thawed

1 can of black beans, drained

1 red pepper, chopped

1/2 cup red onion, chopped

4oz Monterey Jack Cheese, cut into small cubes

Instructions:

1. Puree lime juice, olive oil, honey, and onion in blender. Season with salt.
2. Toss kale, corn, black beans, red pepper, red onion, half the cheese, and dressing in large bowl. Garnish with remaining cheese.

If you are making ahead, do not add any cheese until you are ready to serve.  Make sure to toss the salad before serving as the dressing will settle to the bottom.  

Servings: Between 12 -24
