You cannot beat a five-ingredient recipe, ready in just 20 minutes! Have it tonight or any day of the week, this tex-mex salad is so easy to prepare and chockfull of flavor. Roasted poblanos bring the heat cooled by the crunch lettuce. Jicama and tomatoes add more texture and absorb great flavor from the black bean and corn salsa, which doubles as the dressing. Take this crown pleaser to your next potluck event and sit back while the guests rave. Toss in some grilled chicken or shrimp for a main dish salad or serve alongside your favorite grilled meat or fish. Add a touch of zing and serve with a wedge of lime for extra brightness. Take down the heat by substituting green bell pepper for the poblano.
