Southwest Black Bean Salad
Black beans, sweet corn, avocado and lime — a no-cook salad that works as a side, a taco filling or a dip with chips.
Ingredients
- 2 cans black beans (15 oz each), drained and rinsed
- 1½ cups corn kernels (fresh or thawed frozen)
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 avocado, diced
- ½ cup red onion, diced
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 3 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Steps
- Combine the black beans, corn, bell pepper and red onion in a large bowl.
- Whisk the lime juice, olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
- Fold in the avocado and cilantro, taste and adjust the salt and lime, then serve.
Serve with: tortilla chips or grilled chicken.
Add the avocado last and fold it in gently, so it stays in cubes instead of turning to mush.
