Ingredients
- 15 oz. can black beans
- 1 orange bell pepper
- 1/3 cup red onion, finely diced
- 2/3 cup fresh cilantro (large stems removed)
- 6 oz. grape/cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup sweet corn (I use canned or frozen)
- Optional: avocado for serving
For the citrus dressing:
- 1/4 cup fresh-squeezed orange juice (about 1 large orange)
- 2 Tbsp. lime juice (about 1 lime)
- 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp. agave (or other sweetener)
- 1/4 tsp. salt (more/less to taste)
Instructions
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients. Set aside.
- Finely dice bell pepper, red onion, and tomatoes. Roughly chop cilantro, large stems removed. Place in a large bowl.
- Add black beans (rinsed and drained) and sweet corn (thawed if frozen) to bowl.
- Pour dressing over top and toss to combine.
- Best if chilled 1 hour (or longer) before serving.
- Stir well before serving, as some dressing will settle at the bottom. Top with diced avocado right before serving if desired.
Notes
- Yield: Recipe makes about 4 1/2 cups salad.
- Make it spicy: Add chili powder or cayenne pepper to taste if desired.
