Burrito Inspired Salad

Burrito Inspired Salad

Dinner, Gluten Free, Lunch, Most Popular, Sauces and Spreads
Salads have come a long way from being uninspiring side dishes or diet-centric bowls of lettuce. Today, they can be hearty, flavourful, and utterly satisfying meals in their own right and this Burrito Inspired Salad is the perfect example. Inspired by the bold, vibrant flavours of Mexican cuisine, it captures all the best elements of a burrito, spiced beef, fresh vegetables, creamy dressing — but skips the wrap in favour of a bowl brimming with colour and nutrition. This salad is as visually appealing as it is delicious. Picture tender, paprika-spiced beef resting alongside bursts of juicy cherry tomatoes, crisp lettuce, sweetcorn kernels, and creamy avocado. Add a spoonful of earthy black beans and tangy red onion, then finish with a zesty yoghurt-lime dressing infused with honey and Tajín —…
