Fiesta Salad

What kind of salad do you have with mexican food??? Why a fiesta salad of course!

1 head iceburg lettuce, thinly sliced (we used romaine)
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups chopped tomatoes
1 cup corn
1/2up green pepper
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 avocado, sliced
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Combine and toss with dressing.

Dressing:
3 jalapeno peppers, seeded (or less if you don't like it spicy)
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp. salt
2/3 cup olive oil
1/2 cup fresh cilantro

In a blender puree the jalapenos with vinegar, garlic and salt. Continue processing and slowly add oil. Add cilantro and blend until finely chopped.
