Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cans of black beans (15 ounces each) or 4 1/2 cups cooked black beans, rinsed and well-drained
2 ears of corn, shucked, or 1 cup of canned corn (drained) or defrosted frozen corn
1 orange, yellow or red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup quartered cherry tomatoes
1 cup chopped red onion (from 1 small onion)
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro (about 1/2 medium bunch)
1 medium jalapeño, finely chopped (keep the seeds for heat if you'd like, or remove them for mild flavor) or 2 tablespoons finely chopped pickled jalapeño
1/2 teaspoon lime zest (from 1 lime, preferably organic)
2 tablespoons lime juice (about 1 lime), to taste
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
Optional garnishes: sliced avocado, crumbled feta, lime wedges

Steps:

  • In a large serving bowl, combine all of the ingredients and toss to combine. Taste, and adjust as necessary until the flavors really pop-I usually add another teaspoon or two of vinegar (you can use lime juice instead, for more mild flavor) and another 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Cover and chill to enhance the flavors-preferably for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Serve in individual bowls as is, or with any of the garnishes listed. Leftovers keep well for up to 4 days or so; you might want to wake up the flavors with an extra squeeze of lime juice or tiny splash of vinegar.

Time 30m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup black beans, cooked
1 avocado, diced
1/4 cup pineapple, diced
1/4 cup red onion, cured (see below)
1 tablespoon cilantro puree (see below)
1 tablespoon pepper sauce (chipotle)
9 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
salt (coarse best)
pepper
2 red onions, thinly sliced
2 cups lime juice
1 habanero pepper, minced
1 cup cilantro
1/2 cup lime juice
1 cup oil (veggie, canola or corn)
2 garlic cloves, roasted
1/4 cup onion, roasted

Steps:

  • Roast onion and garlic at 450 for 25 minutes.
  • Cured Red Onions- Place the two thinly sliced onions in a small container and pour 2 Cups of fresh squeezed lime juice on top of onions. Add the habanero chile. Then add in salt and pepper to taste; mix. Cover tight and let sit in the refrigerator for three days, if you are that patient. Otherwise, just set it to cure first.
  • Cilantro Puree- In a blender puree everything but the oil (Includes washed cilantro, 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice, roasted garlic cloves, roasted onions, and course salt to taste). While the blades are moving, add the oil slow stream. Pour into a squirt bottle if you want to do so. You will, most likely, have some left over and that is a good thing.
  • Salad - In a stainless steel bowl combine all the black beans, Hass Avocado, pineapple, cured red onions, cilantro puree, chipotle sauce, coarse salt and pepper to aste, and 1 1/2 Tbsp fresh squeezed lime juice.
  • Serving Suggestions- Presentation With a squirt bottle, drizzle a line or two of the Chipotle Pepper Sauce and the Cilantro Puree on to a plate (Be creative. Write your name or the guest of honor's, etc). Place two tablespoons of the salad in the center of the plate. Top the salad with one tortilla chip. Fill the tortilla chip with one large teaspoon of salad and serve. For a delicious and nutritious alternative, use the Avocado, Black Bean and Pineapple salad as a topping on chicken or fish.
  • The sauce is just amazing and could be used with other things.
  • Go ahead and roast more onion than you need. It is always handy to have in the fridge.
  • Serves 2 as a meal or 4 as an appetizer, accompaniment or salad.

Tips:

  • Use ripe avocados for the creamiest texture.
  • Choose fresh, sweet pineapple for the best flavor.
  • Black beans should be rinsed and drained before using.
  • Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish with cilantro or parsley for a pop of color.
  • Serve immediately or chill for later.

This Avocado, Black Bean, and Pineapple Salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for summer. It is packed with healthy ingredients and is a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. The salad is also very versatile and can be easily customized to your liking.
