Rhonda Fowler All Messages By This Member #251773 Black Bean and Corn Salad Healthy and perfectly refreshing! It's a simple salad jam packed nutritious black beans, fresh vegetables like corn, avocado and bell pepper and it's all tossed with a vibrant cilantro lime dressing. Perfect side to chicken, steak or seafood or serve over rice or quinoa. 开云体育s:?6 Prep20minutes?minutes Ready in:?20minutes?minutes Ingredients 1?(14.5 oz) can?black beans,?rinsed and drained well 1?cup?fresh or frozen?corn,?thawed according to package instructions 1?cup?chopped?tomato?(Roma, cocktail, grape, etc.) 1?cup?seeded and chopped?orange bell pepper 1/3?cup?diced?red onion,?rinsed and drained 1?medium?avocado,?diced (fairly firm but ripe) 1?small?jalapeno,?seeded and minced (optional) Dressing 3?Tbsp?olive oil 2 1/2?Tbsp?fresh?lime?juice 1/3?cup?chopped?fresh cilantro 1?clove?garlic,?minced (1 tsp) 1?tsp?honey 1/4?tsp each?ground cumin?and?chili powder Salt?and freshly ground?black pepper Instructions Whisk together all dressing ingredients in a small mixing bowl, season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes For extra flavor you can roast the bell pepper over a gas fire or under the broiler, turning occasionally. Transfer to a bag to steam 10 minutes then peel away most of the blackened skin. Another option is to grill the corn and the bell pepper for extra flavor. 开云体育 Suggestions Serve with?honey lime shrimp?(or?the shrimp I add to shrimp tacos) and?coconut rice?to make a full meal.
