Cowboy Caviar - Black Bean & Sweet Corn Salad
This has been one of my favorite salads FOREVER! It's perfect to just eat as is or as a side dish to clean meat... my top two are grilled wild caught salmon or pasture-raised chicken. You can even serve on a bed of greens or just eat with some good tortilla chips (SIETE BRAND!). Chips are the perfect vehicle to get this delicious salad in your mouth!
I usually double the batch and munch on it for 2-3 days. It's filling, nourishing, and SO delicious! Okay enough chit chat, let's do this...
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of organic sweet corn (I grilled three cobs and stripped the corn off)
- 1 can (15 oz) organic black beans
- 1 cup loosely packed chopped cilantro
- 1/2 large organic red pepper chopped
- 1/2 small red onion chopped
- 3 green onions chopped
- 1 large organic tomato chopped
- Juice from 3 limes
- 2 Tbps of extra virgin olive oil
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- 1 whole avocado (chopped into small pieces and add before serving)
Directions:
Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Boom. That's it. Store in a glass, airtight container up to 3 days. I love topping with avocado, just do it right before serving, as it can become slimy... no one likes slimy avocado, right?
