Easy Black Bean Salad Food

BLACK BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Make the dressing: Smash the garlic clove, sprinkle with a pinch of the salt, and, with the flat side of a large knife, mash and smear the mixture to a coarse paste. Whisk the garlic paste, lime juice, salt and chili powder together in a bowl. Gradually whisk in the olive oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream.
• For the salad: Cook the corn, bell pepper, and onions in the olive oil until beginning to brown over medium-high heat in a skillet. Toss in the black beans and cook until warm. Add the dressing and toss to coat evenly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and gently fold in the tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro. Serve.

EASY BLACK BEAN TACO SALAD

Steps:

• Drain and rinse the black beans and put them in a large skillet. Mash them slightly with a spoon.
• Add the diced tomatoes with green chilies. For spicier salad use the liquid from the can, for milder drain the can and use 1/3 of the can of water.
• Add the taco seasoning. Mix well.
• Simmer until it reaches the thickness you'd like, I like it about chili consistency. Don't turn the heat too high or it'll burn.
• Cover a plate with tortilla chips, I like to crunch them slightly so that they are bite size.
• Top with lettuce, and bean mixture.
• Add toppings as you like them: cheese, salsa, sour cream, avocado, tomato, onion, jalapeno, peppers, ect.

QUICK BLACK BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Turn the cans of beans upside down and open them from the bottom. This makes it easier to remove the beans. Dump the beans into a colander and rinse them with cold water. Drain them well and place them in a mixing bowl.
• Fold in the yellow and red pepper and the onion.
• Beat the vinegar and cumin together, then beat in the oil. Fold the dressing into the bean mixture and season with salt and pepper. Transfer the salad to a serving dish and cover. It can be kept at room temperature for many hours before serving or refrigerated. Remove it from refrigerator at least 1 hour before serving.
