I recently made this Mexican Salad with Roasted Tomato Vinaigrette Dressing. It was full of flavor and it had ingredients that included black beans, corn, avocado, red onion, green pepper and romaine lettuce. I also added some vegan feta cheese crumbles to top it off. My homemade roasted tomato vinaigrette dressing had a nice kick to it from blending some fire roasted tomatoes with olive oil along with some tasty spices.
