What better way to spend the most perfect Sunday afternoon than cooking and crafting. With my crazy busy schedule these days, I rarely get time to myself. So when the time comes where I have a few hours to spare, I take full advantage! Today, I decided I'd make one of my favorite dishes. I've only made it once before, and boy, was it a hit. Originally found on my favorite new time waster, pinterest.com, it combines my favorite vegetables to make a schmorgesborg of tastiness.
The dish?
Southwest Black Bean Salad
The ingredients?
- 1 can of black beans (rinsed and drain)
- 1 can of whole kernel corn (drained)
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1/2 an onion - either red or white
- 1 avocado
- 2 scallions
- 1 tbsp cilantro
- The juice of 1 lime
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ground pepper & salt
- a few pinches of mexican chili powder
The instructions? Simple.
Combine black beans, corn, tomato, avocado, onion, scallions, and cilantro in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, salt & pepper, and chili powder. Pour lime/oil mixture over veggies. Mix. Voila! A fresh, easy and delicious summer concoction. And great with tortilla or pita chips!
