BLACK BEAN AND RICE SALAD



Black Bean and Rice Salad image

Categories     Salad     Bean     Herb     Pepper     Rice     Side     Summer     Bon Appétit     Sugar Conscious

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 14 1/2-ounce cans chicken broth
1/2 cup water
1 1-pound package long-grain rice
2 bay leaves
2 15-ounce cans black beans, drained, rinsed
2 red bell peppers, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 medium red onion, diced
1 medium bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
Lettuce leaves
Fresh cilantro sprigs

Steps:

  • Bring chicken broth and water to boil in heavy large saucepan. Add rice and bay leaves. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
  • Transfer rice to large bowl and fluff with fork. Mix in black beans, bell peppers, red onion, chopped cilantro, oil, orange juice, vinegar, cumin and chili powder. Season salad to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) Line platter with lettuce leaves. Mound salad on platter. Garnish with fresh cilantro sprigs and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients. Fresh vegetables, ripe fruit, and flavorful herbs will make all the difference in the taste of your salad.
  • Cook your pasta al dente. This means that it should be tender but still slightly firm to the bite.
  • Don't overdress your salad. A light vinaigrette or a simple lemon-tahini dressing is all you need to enhance the flavors of the ingredients without overpowering them.
  • Let your salad rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the dressing to soak into the pasta and vegetables.
  • Garnish your salad with fresh herbs, crumbled cheese, or chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Black bean bow tie salad is a delicious, healthy, and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or as a side dish. With its colorful mix of vegetables, flavorful black beans, and tangy dressing, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
