Ingredients
For the bean salad:
- 400 g tin black beans, drained (240g, or ~ 1 1/4 cups, when drained)
- 400 g tin black eyed beans, drained (240g, or ~ 1 1/4 cups, when drained)
- 1 red pepper, diced
- 3 small spring onions, diced (or 1 large)
- 200 g tin sweetcorn, drained (160g, or ~ 1 cup, when drained)
- 2 Tbsp pumpkin seeds
- 2 Tbsp sliced black olives
For the creamy avocado dressing:
- 1 Tbsp sliced pickled jalapeños (optional)
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- Few sprigs fresh coriander (cilantro)
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 ripe avocado, skin removed
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 Tbsp water
Instructions
- Add all of the salad ingredients to a large mixing bowl.
- In a food processor, add the pickled jalapeños, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, coriander (cilantro), cumin, and olive oil. Blitz until fairly well chopped. Add the avocado and a generous pinch of salt and pepper, and blitz again until fairly smooth. If the mixture seems a little thick, add a splash of water - it should be thin enough to lightly coat the salad.
- Add the dressing to the bowl, and mix thoroughly. Serve chilled.
Notes
If you don't have an ingredient, just swap it for something else. Any vegetable that you enjoy eating raw will work, or something different, like crumbled feta cheese, or chopped nuts. There are lots more ideas in the blog post.
