BLACK BEAN AVOCADO SALSA



Black Bean Avocado Salsa image

This has to be my favorite summer salsa. It's colorful and fresh tasting. It makes a bunch, so invite some friends over. I like to take the lime after it's been juiced and rub down the bowl I will be serving the salsa in. I also rub the lime on the plastic wrap this will help keep the avocados from turning brown. Don't forget the tortilla chips!

Provided by Jennifer Irvine

Categories     Main course

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tsp rapeseed oil
½ tsp dried oregano
½ tsp dried thyme
1 tsp smoked or regular paprika
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
1 garlic clove , finely chopped
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (each weighing 140g)
200g black-eyed bean from a can, drained (or butter or cannellini beans)
2 tomatoes , deseeded and diced
85g sweetcorn from a can, drained
2 spring onions , trimmed and finely chopped
25g semi-dried tomato in oil from a jar, roughly chopped
zest and juice 1 lime
small handful coriander , finely chopped
1 avocado , stoned and peeled
¼ red chilli , deseeded and finely chopped
½ tbsp olive oil
juice 1 lime
small handful coriander , finely chopped

Steps:

  • Mix together the oil, herbs, spices and garlic in a large sealable bag. Put the chicken breasts in the bag and mix thoroughly to cover. Bash the chicken with a rolling pin to flatten it a little, then set aside to marinate for at least 15 mins.
  • In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients for the bean salad. Stir well and set aside.
  • For the guacamole, scoop the flesh from the avocado and put it in a medium bowl, chopping it roughly with the side of the spoon. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. If you prefer your guacamole to be smoother, mash the avocado well with the olive oil and lime juice until it's at your preferred consistency before stirring in the other ingredients.
  • Heat the grill. Line a grill pan with foil, place the chicken breasts on it and grill for 5 mins, checking occasionally. Once golden brown, turn and grill for a further 5-7 mins. Check the middle of the breasts after 5 mins and, if cooked through, remove from the heat.
  • Set aside 2 chicken breasts and 2 tbsp guacamole for Open rye sandwich (see 'goes well with', right). Place 1 warm chicken breast on each plate, with some bean salad and a dollop of guacamole on the side.

Categories     Main course

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tsp rapeseed oil
½ tsp dried oregano
½ tsp dried thyme
1 tsp smoked or regular paprika
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
1 garlic clove , finely chopped
125g block of halloumi cheese (125g more if using for Open rye sandwich - see 'goes well with')
200g black-eyed bean from a can, drained (or butter or cannellini beans)
2 tomatoes , deseeded and diced
85g sweetcorn from a can, drained
2 spring onions , trimmed and finely chopped
25g semi-dried tomato in oil from a jar, roughly chopped
zest and juice 1 lime
small handful coriander , finely chopped
1 avocado , stoned and peeled
¼ red chilli , deseeded and finely chopped
½ tbsp olive oil
juice 1 lime
small handful coriander , finely chopped

Steps:

  • Mix together the oil, herbs, spices and garlic in a large sealable bag. Divide a 250g block of halloumi into 8 slices. It can be very salty, so soak the slices in cold water for at least 10 mins, if you have time. Pat dry, then rub a spoonful of the Cajun mix into each slice, and reserve 4 slices for Open rye sandwich (see 'goes well with').
  • In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients for the bean salad. Stir well and set aside.
  • For the guacamole, scoop the flesh from the avocado and put it in a medium bowl, chopping it roughly with the side of the spoon. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. If you prefer your guacamole to be smoother, mash the avocado well with the olive oil and lime juice until it's at your preferred consistency before stirring in the other ingredients.
  • Heat the grill. Line a grill pan with foil, place the halloumi slices on it and grill for 3-4 mins, checking occasionally until golden.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade in this recipe is made with a blend of spices, herbs, and citrus, which gives the chicken a delicious flavor. Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time.

  • Make the black bean and avocado salad while the chicken is grilling: This salad is a great way to add some freshness and crunch to the meal. It's also very easy to make.
  • Serve the chicken and salad with your favorite sides: Some good options include rice, beans, or a green salad.

Conclusion:

This grilled spicy lime chicken with black bean and avocado salad is a delicious and healthy meal that's perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken is flavorful and juicy, and the salad is refreshing and crunchy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
