warmed it up for about 45 seconds. throw corn and beans on lettuce. then i cut an avocado, i use the whole thing because i love avocado, but you can use however much you want. i use big chunks though. getting that huge seed out is tricky sometimes. then i used the dressing. the dressing has corn and chunks of tomato and some other stuff in it, and it is delicious. if i were you, i'd definitely try this salad. it is so easy and so good!
