Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet and toss with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Roast for 35-40 minutes, stirring once.
In a small skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the frozen corn and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the corn starts to lightly brown. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and then fold in the corn. Spoon the mixture into a large serving bowl or onto a platter, leaving room to display the rest of the ingredients side by side, from left to right in this order: rice, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, red onions, avocado, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro. Garnish with lime wedges.
To prepare the dressing, place all of the dressing ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth and thin enough to pour over the salad. (Add more water, if needed.) Pour the dressing over the salad and serve.
Notes
Add rotisserie chicken to the salad for added protein.
