How to Make a Great Salad with Homemade Dressing of Honey and Lime

Enjoy one great salad with your homemade dressing of honey and lime. Refreshing and different, try it today! This bright and festive salad is a Mexican flair with black beans, corn and avocado. It can be a starting salad by adding chopped cooked chicken. You may also be a fried chicken by slicing roast chicken over the top. Dressing would be good for other salads. It has a Tex-Mex complaint with lime and cilantro. It would be good for dressing in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for use on other salads or for marinating meat.
