Method
Combine the olive oil, lime juice, cumin, Massel Vegetable Stock Powder and black pepper in a jar with a lid and shake really well until the dressing is emulsified. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, beans, red onion, avocado, tomatoes, coriander/cilantro and pepitas. Stir well to combine and then pour the dressing over the salsa salad. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes up to a few hours.
Fill the lettuce leaves with some of the salsa salad; serve immediately.
