black bean salad

I am on a quest to find amazing salads for summer. I found this salad on soulemama and oh my it is so tasty!!!! This is my version of it based on what I had on hand. Not only is this super yum, it is oh-so-healthy. So here it is:

for the dressing, mix together: 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (juice of 1 lime)
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar,
1/2 small jalapeño, seeded and chopped,
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt,
1 small garlic clove minced, 
1/2 teaspoon mustard,
1/4 cup oil

2 -3 big handfuls spinach (or other salad greens), well washed and dried
3 cups cooked black beans
1/4 cup shredded cheese,
1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted.

dress just before serving and top with grilled chicken.

Serves 4 - 6.

I think the next time I make this, I'll slice a fuji apple or two into it and maybe add green onions.
