Ingredients
EASY MEXICAN RICE BOWL RECIPE
- 2 - 3 cups of your favorite salad greens spinach, kale, romaine, arugula. iceberg or butter
- 1/2 cup corn canned & drained or grilled
- 1 cup black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 cup brown rice cooked (I use Minute Rice)
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 10 cherry tomatoes

AVOCADO RANCH DRESSING
- 1/2 cup Vegan Ranch Dressing
- 1 avocado diced
Instructions
How to Make Your Easy Mexican Rice Bowl
- Place your salad greens in a medium sized bowl.
- Add the salsa to the brown rice and mix together to get a Spanish rice. I like to use the cups of rice Minute Rice makes so it's already portioned and easy to prepare in the microwave in 90 seconds.
- Add the corn, black beans, Spanish rice, cherry tomatoes on top of the salad.
- Make the dressing.
Avocado Ranch Dressing
- In a blender add the ranch dressing with 1/2 of the avocado and mix together to get a thick dressing. Add some plant-based milk if you need to thin the dressing out, if you feel it's too thick. You can opt to add the rest of the avocado to the dressing or add it to your salad.
- Top the salad with the avocado ranch dressing and add some chopped cilantro.
- Toss the salad with the dressing and veggies and enjoy!
