AVOCADO AND BLACK BEAN SALAD



Avocado and Black Bean Salad image

I'm always on the lookout for any recipe containing avocado, black beans and corn. This great summer salad was sent to me in a recipe exchange and I fell in love with it. Great salad to have for Cinco de Mayo.

Provided by Irish Rose

Categories     Vegetable

Time 10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 -3 avocados, chopped
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (10 ounce) package frozen white corn, cooked and drained
1/4-1/2 cup onion, chopped
3 roma tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1/2 lime, juice of, freshly squeezed
1 dash coarse salt
1 dash olive oil

Steps:

  • Mix together all of the above ingredients. I'm an avocado lover, so I use three, but two is good. You can use fresh corn if you prefer and also use as much chopped onion or squeezed lime as you like. In fact, all of the ingredients are to your own liking, use as much or as little as you want. The lime juice helps to keep the avocado from turning brown. Refrigerate for a couple of hours and serve cold. Enjoy!

Categories     < 30 Mins

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.

All the summer favorite flavors at once. Healthy but even better, TASTY. This salad combines avocado, black beans, red and green bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, olive oil and lime juice to make a perfect light meal or accompaniment to just about anything grilled. Also makes a good dip with corn chips. Note that you can substitute chopped mango for the tomatoes for a change...equally as good.

BLACK BEAN AND AVOCADO SALAD



Black Bean and Avocado Salad image

Provided by Natalie Clark

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can black eyed peas, drained and rinsed
1 can whole kernel corn, drained and rinsed
4-5 Roma tomatoes, diced
2 ripe avocados, cubed
1/3 cup Zesty Italian dressing
1/4-1/2 cup chopped cilantro, as desired
juice of 1-2 limes, as desired
tortilla chips, for serving, if desired

Steps:

  • Drain and rinse black beans, black eyed peas, and corn. Add diced tomatoes, cilantro, avocado, lime, and dressing. Rinse the beans to remove the starchy water from the can. Here you can see the bubbles from the starch. Once the bubbles are gone, you've rinsed thoroughly. Mix gently to combine while avoiding crushing the avocados. Serve immediately, with tortilla chips if desired. Store leftovers in the fridge, covered, for no more than two days. If you think you won't use it all at once, reserve part in advance and do not add avocados until serving that portion

Tips:

  • For the freshest flavor, use ripe avocados.
  • If you don't have fresh lime juice, you can use bottled lime juice or lemon juice.
  • Add chopped cilantro or parsley for extra flavor.
  • Serve the salad immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

Conclusion:

This black bean and avocado salad is a delicious and healthy side dish or lunch option. It's packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats. The lime dressing adds a bright and tangy flavor. This salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
