Ingredients
Black bean salad
- 1 can black beans drained and rinsed
- ½ red bell pepper diced
- ¼ green bell pepper diced
- ¼ red onion diced
- 1 avocado diced
- 1 cup cherry tomato halved
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped, optional
- ½ lime juiced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Cilantro lime dressing
- ½ cup cilantro chopped, fresh
- ½ cup lime juice
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- ⅓ teaspoon black pepper adjust to taste
Instructions
Black bean salad
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the black beans, diced red and green bell peppers, diced red onion, avocado and cherry tomatoes, top with chopped cilantro and drizzle lime juice and olive oil over the top of the mixture.
- Gently toss the ingredients until they are well combined.
Cilantro lime dressing
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the chopped cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, and minced garlic until well combined.
- Season the dressing with salt and black pepper to taste.
Notes
- Some possible substitutions:
- Allow the salad to marinate for some time before serving. Allowing the flavors to meld in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or even longer, will enhance the taste of your salad.
- Make ahead by preparing the salad (minus the avocado) and add the dressing at the end.
- Red onion: You can substitute with white onion or shallots.
- Cilantro: If you don't like cilantro, you can use parsley or basil instead.
- Avocado: You can use diced mango, pineapple, or peach instead of avocado.
- Lime juice: You can use lemon juice or orange juice instead.
- Extra-virgin olive oil: You can use any other vegetable oil like canola oil, sunfloweroil, or grapeseed oil instead.
