Mexicana Style Green Salad

This is a wonderful summer salad. Crisp cold iceberg lettuce, fragrant cilantro and green onions with mixed in sliced cherry tomatoes, black beans. I use a yogurt based ranch, Bolt House farms, what else... and topped with a  1/2 avocado. This is super healthy, crispy, crunchy and awesome. 
 
Ingredients for 2 portions:
1/2 large head iceberg lettuce
1/2 bunch cilantro
4 -5 green onions
12 cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup black beans
1 medium avocado
 
Preparation:
Take your head of lettuce and cut in half, then in quarters. Thinly slice the lettuce so you basically have shredded lettuce and place into a large salad bowl. Dice the green onions, rough chop the cilantro and add to the lettuce.
 
At this point I like to plate the salad. Put half of the lettuce on each plate and top with cherry tomatoes. Add about 2 tablespoons ranch salad dressing and top with 1/2 sliced avocado. Give a grind of pepper and you're done.
