“Back on Track” Dump Salad – with black beans, corn, bell peppers and avocado
Categories:
Good morning! How are we feeling this morning after too much pizza, chips and wings?
I thought so…
Worry not, I have a simple, delicious dish that will help us all get back on track. It’s a “dump” salad (dump a bunch of stuff in a bowl), that requires little to no effort, but tastes incredible! What’s more is that you can make a huge batch and eat it throughout the week for lunches, snacks, etc., and it won’t get icky!
You’ll need:
Ingredients
- 2 cans (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 3 ears fresh corn, cooked, cooled and kernels cut off the cob -(or two cups of frozen)
- 2 red bell peppers, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium shallot, minced
- 2 teaspoons salt
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 9 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 6 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/2 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon lime zest (be sure to zest limes before juicing them)
- ½ cup chopped cilantro – set some aside for garnishing, as well!
- 2 avocados, diced
“Dump” all ingredients except avocados in a large bowl and mix well. Cover and chill for a few hours or overnight. Right before serving, add avocados and mix gently. Careful not to mash! Those avocados should be treated with the utmost care — they are key ingredient, after all ;) Garnish with a a bit of chopped cilantro and serve at room temperature.
I’m making mine tonight, but here’s the general gist:
