Southwest Black Bean Salad

southwest black bean salad

With the Memorial Day holiday coming up I wanted to share one of my favorite salads that I like to bring and share at summer get-togethers.

I also love to make a big batch for myself and have it on top of lettuce for a tasty lunch!

I keep the ingredients and amounts pretty simple, but I am pretty sure you can’t mess this recipe up.

  • 2 cups of black beans
  • 2 cups of organic sweet corn
  • 2 cups of cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup of chopped fresh cilantro
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Just throw everything into a big mixing bowl and mix.  That’s it!  Short and sweat!

You can add onion to this recipe, but I hate onions.  If you like that sort of thing- knock yourself out and add it!  😉

BTW- Yes, I know it’s strange and yes, I am aware that onions are added to most dishes when I eat out.

Enjoy!
