FRESCA BEAN SALAD

Caregory : Easy And Quick Recipes

Chow down. Or lighten up. To make this a heartier dish, add 1½ cups cooked quinoa. Warm quinoa gives the dish a delightful hot-cold contrast. Conversely, the dish can be made lighter by adding 2 cups of fresh greens, like spinach or romaine.

Ingredient

    • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed (1½ cups)
    • 1 medium carrot, shredded (about 1 cup)
    • ½ small red onion, minced (about ¼ cup)
    • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
    • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, diced
    • 1 avocado, diced
    • ½ lime, juiced
    • 1½ tablespoon garlic granules or powder
    • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
    • 2 generous pinches of cayenne pepper, or to taste

Direction

    • In a large bowl, mix the beans, carrots, onion, tomato cilantro, lime juice and spices. Stir in the avocado just before serving and enjoy.
