SOUTHWESTERN BLACK BEAN & CHICKPEA SALAD - WW SIMPLY FILLING



Southwestern Black Bean & Chickpea Salad - Ww Simply Filling image

Adapted from skinnytaste.com. RE: WW Simply Filling (Core), there's some debate over whether you have to count the EVOO if it's just a couple tsp/serving. I don't and have had outstanding results. So for me, this is a Simply Filling Recipe. If you count the EVOO, it's 1 pt. (For Flex: 5 WW Pts/serving)

SOUTHWESTERN BLACK BEAN AND HOMINY SALAD



Southwestern Black Bean and Hominy Salad image

Like the rest of the northeast, it's been a hot summer here in Eastern Maine; however, most of us here don't have airconditioning, so I'm on the lookout for interesting whole-meal salads! Found this on epicurious. If you haven't tried hominy, it's about time: it's corn treated with cooking lye, so that it comes out with a texture and flavor somewhere between corn and garbanzo beans. Recipe calls for yellow hominy, but all we can find here is white; doesn't make any difference in the taste, from what I can tell. Give it a little time in the refrigerator before serving so it's nice and cold!

Tips:

  • For a more flavorful salad, use a variety of vegetables. Some good options include corn, bell peppers, red onion, and avocado.
  • To add a bit of a kick to the salad, use a spicy dressing. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and chili powder is a good option.
  • If you're looking for a vegan or vegetarian protein source, black beans and chickpeas are both excellent choices. They're also a good source of fiber and iron.
  • This salad is a great make-ahead meal. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
