Cowboy Bean Salad with Lime Dressing

Share

As the weather gets warmer, I enjoy making big salads that will keep in the refrigerator for a couple of days. They’re great for a quick lunch or side dish. Serve this dish with chips and you have a great appetizer.

Because the avocado is bathed in dressing, it won’t turn brown! If you don’t eat all of the salad in one sitting, a nice squeeze of lime juice will freshen it up for your next meal.

14 oz can black beans , rinsed and drained
1.5 cups frozen corn, thawed

1 avocado, diced
1 small red onion, diced
3/4 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
8 oz. cherry tomatoes, quartered (or 2 large tomatoes, deseeded and diced)

Lime Dressing
2 Tablespoons lime juice
4 Tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder (or chili powder)
1/4 teaspoon cumin powder

Add the salad ingredients to a large bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently. Serve immediately.

The salad will keep for several days in the refrigerator.

    We made this frequently during the summer and liked it so much we continue to prepare it in the fall. As long as the supermarket continues to stock avocados, we may eat it year-round!
