1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced
1/2 (15 1/2 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon honey
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

1 Combine romaine, tomatoes, avocados, onion, and black beans in a large bowl; toss to combine.
2 Whisk lime juice, honey, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. While constantly whisking, stream in the olive oil until dressing is well combined.
