Method

• Separate this salad into 2 jars so you have lunch for 2 days. In each jar divide the lime juice, olive oil, honey and seasoning. Mix to combine.
• Add the corn kernels (so the corn will pickle slightly).
• Top with the black beans, capsicum, cabbage and cheese.
• Make the avocado chipotle yoghurt by blending the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Place on top of the cheese then finish with the lettuce and coriander. Add the optional extras on top if you like.
• Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
• To serve, shake the jar well so the dressing and avocado chipotle yoghurt are distributed nicely.
