Black Bean Salad​

Recipe Description

Delicious summer salad. Filling and nutritious too.​

Preparation Steps:

*Notes: I skipped the red onion and cilantro because I didn't have either on hand. I did add some onion powder though.

Also, I used 1 package (12 oz.) of Bird's Eye steam (in the bag) white & yellow corn vs. a can of corn (we don't buy many canned vegetables here).

I used dried black beans (soaked before using) vs. canned black beans.

I ate this alone and skipped the tortilla chips. I bet it would taste great on a bed of lettuce too.​

Thanks, this is another of the recipes I managed to misplace in moving - and haven't made time to look up elsewhere. Now I don't have to - thanks to you!

For those who have not tried this one, it can be served as a dip or a salad, is a GREAT hit at potlucks and picnics, and keeps in the fridge for several days very well. And it's pretty!

I was just looking at this recipe and wanted to make some...but I'm out of black beans LOL

 

[lisaflex]

we love it! i crush a clove of garlic and mix that w/ the lime juice and hot sauce while cutting up all other onions and peppers (dont always use) and seeding tomatoes. then mix all together. yum. and filling. sometimes i add some cooked orzo - adds some color to it and makes it go further.

I love this salad! I make it with one bell pepper, a few seeded chopped tomatoes and the juice of one lemon instead of vinegar. It does not last long in my house. Yum!

I make this only I use Italian dressing for it and it is really good and easy! I also chop up some jalepeno for it. We use the same recipe for blackeyed pea salad as well! Yummm! I need to make some of this now.

I'll confirm that this is delicious served on lettuce or a wrap! I make it all the time, it's almost my standard lunch. I never use the cilantro. Not a big cilantro fan.
