Cuban salads typically are refreshing, yet uncomplicated, and they're always a nice addition to what often can be a heavy Cuban meal. Served with a loaf of crusty Cuban bread isn't a bad idea either!

Ingredients

Salad:

2 heads romaine lettuce, chopped
4 medium tomatoes (such as Campari®), cut into wedges
2 medium avocados - peeled, pitted, and cubed
1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced
½ (15.5 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

Dressing:

¼ cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon honey
1 clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

Combine romaine, tomatoes, avocados, onion, and black beans in a large bowl; toss to combine.
Whisk lime juice, honey, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. While constantly whisking, stream in the olive oil until dressing is well combined.
Drizzle some of the dressing over the salad, toss, taste, and add more dressing if desired. If there's any extra dressing, refrigerate for later use.

Cook's Note:

Feel free to substitute iceberg lettuce for the romaine, as it's often used in traditional Cuban salads.
