MEDITERRANEAN AVOCADO AND BLACK BEAN SALAD



Mediterranean Avocado and Black Bean Salad image

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.

Time 30m

Yield 1 salad, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 avocados, peeled and cut in chunks
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 red onion, large, minced (about 2/3 cup)
1 cup cilantro, fresh, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup olive oil
2 limes, juice of (I prefer to use 3 small key limes but either will work)
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Combine avocadoes, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, bell peppers and black beans in a large bowl. Stir to blend. Drizzle with the olive oil (doesn't have to be an exact measure -- just a good swirl over the bowl to moisten) and add the lime juice and stir to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve at room temperature. Refrigerate leftovers (if there are any!).

AVOCADO AND BLACK BEAN SALAD

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.

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!
