Black Bean Salad
Black Bean Salad recipe:
What is it about a black bean salad that practically shouts, “summer potluck”? The mercury has been edging past a hundred degrees lately here and I’ve been getting nostalgic for some of the picnic foods I remember having often as a kid.
The basic structure of a black bean salad is black beans (canned or freshly made) with corn kernels (canned, frozen, or fresh). Parsley, basil or cilantro add an herby note to the flavors. Tomatoes or red bell pepper some sweetness and color. Lemon juice and or lime juice some acid. Jalapeno or cumin will give it a kick, and avocado and olive oil will smooth it down.
Here is what you will need:
Ingredients:
1 cup spring onions; sliced
1 1/2 cup corn frozen
2 cans black beans
5 ea Roma tomatoes; chopped
3 tablespoon pickled Jalapenos
1/4 cup Cilantro; chopped
2 ea Lime juice
1/2 ts Ground cumin
1/2 ts Salt
