Ingredients

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 (8 ounce) can corn kernels (rinsed and drained)

  • 1 green bell pepper (chopped)
  • 1 avocado (peeled, pitted and diced)

  • 4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  • Add oil, lime juice and seasoning to a large salad bowl and combine well.

Tips

  • Feel free to use just one kind of beans, or use whatever cooked beans you have on hand. I’ve made this salad many different ways, and it’s always delicious.
  • If you don’t have any fresh limes, use bottled lime juice or apple cider vinegar instead.
  • For a lighter salad, try reducing the olive oil and using more lime juice instead.

Storage

The salad keeps well for a day in the fridge. I recommend adding the avocado right before serving though, it tends to turn brown otherwise.

This is such a quick, easy and healthy Mexican bean salad! It’s simple to make and goes perfectly with grilled meat. I would usually bring it to a summer cookout, a backyard BBQ or a picnic… But I guess this year I’ll just make it for our own small Cinco de Mayo festivities – it’s still perfect.

Enjoy!
