Black Bean & Corn Salad

I notice this recipe hasn't been posted in a while, and I wanted to share because it has become a staple for me when trying to eat cheap and healthy, especially during this long, dreary, Canadian winter.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups black beans, rinsed
  • 2 cups whole kernel corn, rinsed
  • 1/3 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 3 tbsp lime juice
  • 1-2 tsp olive oil
  • Salt & pepper to taste (about 1/2 tsp)
  • 1 tsp cumin (I use 2 tsp 'cause I love it!)
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

Method

  • Combine beans, corn, onion in a large mixing bowl
  • Add lime juice and oil to beans/corn; mix well
  • In a small bowl, combine spices
  • Add spices to beans/corn; mix well
  • Lastly, add chopped cilantro; mix well.
  • Store in airtight container in fridge 7-10 days. Mine gets eaten within the week!

Note: I find this "order of operations" works best to ensure even distribution of dressing and seasonings.



bon appetit
