Black Bean Salad received an all thumbs up in our house! This vegetable and protein packed salad has a ton of flavor and texture. The dressing for the salad is made up of 3 ingredients – olive oil, seasoned rice vinegar and lime juice which gives it a very bright flavor.
I love the versatility of salads. The vegetable ingredients can be switched out to your families liking or what’s in season making it not only nutritious and delicious but economical. The beans provide a great source of protein and are very filling making this salad a great meatless meal alternative. I used canned black beans in the recipe, you could certainly buy dried beans and cook your own for the salad. Using white beans instead of black beans is another option for this fantastic salad. Let’s gather the ingredients and make it together.
Salad Ingredients:
- 2 cups corn
- 4 cups black beans (rinsed if using canned black beans)
- 1/2 medium onion, diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 red bell pepper
- 15 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/3 cup cilantro, finely chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Salad Dressing Ingredients:
- 2 Tablespoons seasoned rice wine vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon lime juice
We start this delicious salad by placing all the salad ingredients into a large bowl and tossing them together gently. Set the bowl aside while we make the salad dressing, which will take about 5 minutes to put together.
To make the Black Bean Salad Dressing place the Seasoned Rice Wine Vinegar and one tablespoon of olive oil in a medium bowl. Add one tablespoon lime juice to the bowl and whisk the dressing ingredients together to combine them.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat the ingredients. That’s it, that’s how easy this flavor packed salad is to make. For those of you who would like a little more protein in the salad than just the black beans try adding cooked leftover chicken or ham to the salad to make it heartier. Black Bean Salad – you’ll make and eat it because it’s so very good tasting, the “good for you” part is a bonus. Enjoy!
