2 tablespoons fresh lime or lemon juice
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Kosher or coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
½ teaspoon ancho chili powder
2 15.5-ounce cans black beans (drained and rinsed)

Make the dressing: In a small container, combine the lemon or lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper, and chili pepper.
Make the salad: In a large bowl, combine the beans, corn, onions, and peppers. Shake up the dressing, pour it over the salad and toss to combine.

Time 10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 (15-ounce) cans black beans , drained
1 1/2 cups corn kernels
1 red or yellow bell pepper, diced
1 avocado, diced, optional
3 tomatoes, chopped
4 green onions, chopped
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/3 cup lime juice
1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

Gather the ingredients.
In a large mixing bowl, combine beans, corn, pepper, tomatoes, onion, and cilantro, and gently toss.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, sea salt, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
Pour dressing over beans mixture and gently toss to combine well and coat all of the bean salad ingredients.
Gently fold in diced avocado just until well dispersed. If avocado is too soft and fragile, you can also just place the avocado on top of individual portions. If you have some extra time, this black bean salad recipe is best prepared a few hours before servings so that you can chill it in the refrigerator (for at least an hour) to allow all those great Southwest flavors to mingle and fully develop.

Tips:

Choose fresh and flavorful ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your salad. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, sweet corn, and tender black beans. You can also add other vegetables that you like, such as bell peppers, onions, or zucchini.
Use a variety of textures and flavors: This salad has a great mix of textures, from the crunchy vegetables to the soft black beans. You can also add other ingredients to add even more texture, such as nuts, seeds, or crumbled cheese.
Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way in this salad. Too much dressing will weigh it down and make it soggy. Start with a small amount of dressing and add more to taste.
Let the salad rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. If you're making the salad ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

This Southwest salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for summer. It is packed with fresh vegetables, black beans, corn, and a flavorful dressing. It is a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables and it is also a good source of protein and fiber. You can enjoy this salad as a main course or as a side dish. It is also a great option for potlucks and picnics.
