Directions
Whisk together dressing ingredients and chill while preparing the salad. (You can also sauté the dressing ingredients and set aside while assembling the salad.)
Tear the romaine into bite sized pieces and arrange around the rim of a large serving platter.
Then arrange the cucumber and orange slices in concentric circles.
Heap the black beans in the center, arrange the red onion around the beans, and sprinkle with the cherry tomato halves.
Sprinkle with toasted pepitas and serve with the dressing on the side. (You can also mix all the salad ingredients together and then toss with the dressing.)
Serve with crisp tortilla chips.
