Fortunately this post is fun to write since my ‘Horns knocked off the No. 1 team today! I brought a few snacks for our small watch party.My Black Bean Salad is always requested and as many times as I’ve posted pictures of it, I’ve never written out the recipe. It’s always a hit. Fresh tomatoes and a good avocado are a must. I vary it occasionally, but here’s the basic recipe.
Black Bean Salad
Serves 6
Ingredients:
1 can (15 oz.) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen corn
4 green onions, sliced thin, white and green parts
1 fresh jalapeno, minced
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1 large fresh tomato, diced
1 avocado, diced
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice of 2 key limes or 1 medium lime
1 t. agave nectar
2 T. Italian style salad dressing
1 clove garlic, crushed
¼ t. spicy seasoning blend (I use McCormick’s Spicy Montreal; you could sub red chili flakes)
salt & pepper to taste
Directions:
Mix everything in a large bowl. Chill until ready to serve, at least one hour. Serve as a salad, as a salad topper, or with tortilla chips.
I made another test recipe for Ricki. This is her delicious Breakfast Loaf that I sliced very thinly and cut into a Longhorn shape to give to my mom. It was for good luck and it worked!
