Instructions

Step 1

Preheat a pan on medium to high heat. Brush the corn with olive oil and smoked paprika. Cook on the pan, turning every 2 minutes, for up to 10 minutes, until kernels start to brown but are still juicy.

Step 2

While the corn is cooking, prepare the dressing by combining the olive oil, lime juice, oregano, monk fruit, and salt in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3

Assemble the salad in a large bowl. If preparing in meal-prep containers, assemble the salad in the following order: dressing, black beans, edamame, quinoa, diced bell pepper, diced tomatoes, red onions, grilled corn, diced jalapenos, and fresh chopped cilantro (coriander).

Step 4

When ready to eat, add diced avocado and tortilla chips if using. Toss the salad gently to mix all the ingredients and ensure they are well-coated with the dressing.
