Instructions:
1️⃣ To make the dressing:
Whisk your dressing ingredients together and keep them stored in the fridge while you prepare the rest of your salad. (The dressing should be fairly thick but you can add more water to thin it out as needed.)
2️⃣ To make the salad:
Add your lettuce, corn kernels, black beans, tomatoes, and green onion to a large bowl and toss in your desired amount of dressing.
Sprinkle your cotija cheese over the top (if using) and serve immediately.
