Corn + Black Bean Chopped Salad {vegan}
Yummy black bean salad that can also be served as a salsa! This easy summer side dish goes great with grilled chicken or any protein you love.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 ears corn kernels scraped from cob
- 1 bell pepper diced
- ½ cup drained diced hearts of palm
- 4 green onions sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lime zested and juiced
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped
- 1 can black beans drained
- 1 avocado diced
Instructions
- Combine the corn, pepper, hearts of palm, onions, cherry tomatoes, spices, and olive oil in a large bowl. Mix to combine. This portion of the salad can be made in advance.
- Right before serving, add the lime juice, zest, cilantro, beans, and avocado. Stir very gently to combine everything. Taste, and add more spices or lime juice if you'd like. Serve immediately so the avocado doesn't turn brown.
Notes
- This is great as a condiment, side dish, or main dish salad.
- Substitute to your heart's desire here! Canned or frozen corn is fine, white onion instead of green, lemon instead of lime, any color bell pepper, jalapeno for spice, other beans - be creative!
- For a non-vegan version, feel free to add some crumbled queso fresco and/or grilled sliced chicken to the mixture.
