Black Bean Salad
Ingredients
The Salad - (I try to keep the cuts
not too much bigger than the beans & corn - for appearance & to get a little
of everything in a spoonful)
2 lbs. black beans (I have a pressure
cooker, but go ahead, use 2 15 oz. cans, well-rinsed.)
2 lbs. cooked sweet corn, cut from
the cob (OK, you can use 2 - 15 oz. cans of whole kernel corn or 2 lbs. of
frozen corn, drained)
8 green onions, diced
2 cloves garlic, large, minced
2-3 jalapeno peppers, cleaned, diced
(more if you like)
1 green Bell pepper, cleaned, diced
(I also sometimes add a small sweet red pepper, for both sweetness & color)
1 ripe avocado, large, pitted, peeled
and diced
1 jar (4 oz) pimentos, drained
3 tomatoes, seeded & diced
1C fresh cilantro, chopped
Sea salt & fresh cracked black
pepper to taste
The Dressing
3 T fresh lime juice
2 T fresh orange juice
2-1/2 tsp lime zest
1/2 tsp ground cumin
Sea salt & fresh cracked black
pepper to taste
Directions
Combine all the salad ingredients in
a large bowl. Season with the salt & pepper. Whisk the dressing vigorously
to incorporate. Add the dressing to the salad and gently toss to combine
everything. Chill until ready to serve. Lightly toss again prior to serving.
Prepare this salad at least 4 hours
prior to serving to let everything - except the avocado - marry joyfully in the
bowl.
You do want to let the avocado bathe
in the lime juice of the dressing - better presentation that way, and you can
store the avocado pieces in a small container. Then, pour the dressing off the
avocado and mix the salad with the dressing, then dress the top of the salad
with the avocado pieces at service.
Very pretty dish
& the absence of any oil seems to make all the veggies sparkle in a light
citrus glow. You want this salad well chilled, but if you don't bathe the
avocados in the dressing first , they will end up looking like grey lumps of pork as the air hits them.
