Meatless Monday: Mexican Cobb Salad

This salad accompanied me to a BBQ this weekend. Although each layer is uncomplicated, it's a salad that packs a punch. It would easily be dressed up with chicken or shrimp if you don't want to go the meatless route.

I used a layer of the following:

- Romain lettuce

- Mix of 1 can corn, 1 can black beans, chopped cilantro, 1/4 large red onion, juice of 1/2 lime

- Cucumber

-Cherry tomatoes

- Avocado

- Shredded Mexican blend cheese

For the dressing; blend the following in a blender or food processor:

- 1/2 cup lowfat buttermilk

- 1/4 cup light mayo

- 1/4 plain Greek yogurt

- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro

- 1/4 cup fresh parsley (could omit and just do cilantro, but I had some on hand)

- 1 clove of garlic

- juice of 1/2 lime

- 1/4 teaspoon of cumin

- Salt and pepper to taste
