Ingredients
Southwest Salad
2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can corn, drained and rinsed
4 Roma tomatoes, chopped
1/2 Bermuda onion, chopped
1/2-1 cup chopped cilantro or 1 cup of chopped fresh basil
2 avocados, peeled and chopped
Juice of 1 lemon and 1 lime
Salt and pepper
Optional Dressing: Equal parts olive oil and balsamic vinegar (about 1/3 cup each).
Preparation
Combine ingredients. This dish is great as an hors d’oeuvres with good-quality tortilla chips, on salad greens, on top of cooked brown rice, as a topping or wrapped in a burrito. So many options!
To make it a full meal, you might add simple steamed vegetables as side dishes, such as kale, green beans and/or carrots – and maybe a salad with rice vinegar and olive oil.
