Ingredients

Servings
  • 15 oz. black beans canned
  • 1 bell pepper orange
  • 1/3 cup red onion finely diced
  • 2/3 cup cilantro large stems removed, fresh
  • 6 oz. grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup sweet corn (I use canned or frozen)
  • avocado optional, for serving

For the citrus dressing:

  • 1/4 cup orange juice about 1 large orange, fresh-squeezed
  • 2 Tbsp. lime juice (about 1 lime)
  • 1/2 tsp. cumin ground
  • 1/2 tsp. agave syrup or other sweetener
  • 1/4 tsp. salt (more/less to taste)

Instructions

  1. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients. Set aside.
  2. Finely dice bell pepper, red onion, and tomatoes. Roughly chop cilantro, large stems removed. Place in a large bowl.
  3. Add black beans (rinsed and drained) and sweet corn (thawed if frozen) to bowl.
  4. Pour dressing over top and toss to combine.
  5. Best if chilled 1 hour (or longer) before serving.
  6. 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.
