Black Bean Salad

I'm finally getting around to putting a recipe up on here! Yikes, It's been on my to do list now for over two weeks! If you love salads, and even better love yummy, healthy and QUICK salads, then this one is for you!! Thanks Brian for the recipe! www.getthehealthyedge.com


Black Bean Salad
(Serves 6)

Two 15 oz cans of black beans, drained and rinsed
Two cupw frozen forn, cooked
10-15 cherry tomatoes, quartered
One large Avacado
2 Tbsp lime juice
2 fresh garlic cloves, diced
1/4 tsp. sea salt

1. On a cutting board, add salt to diced garlic. Use the flat side of a butter knife to grind /mash salt into diced garlic until blend resembles a paste. Set paste aside.
2. Add 2 cups of frozen corn to small pan. Add 1 cup of water and heat on medium high until corn is thawed and hot. Remove from heat and drain excess water.
3. Add black beans, cooked corn, tomatoes , and avacado to medium or large bowl or serving dish.
4. Stir in lime juice and garlic paste until all ingredients are throughly combined.


Brians Tips

Best if placed in refrigerator to allow to chill prior to serving. I prefer to use fresh squeezed lime juice. Great side dish for many different entrees or a delicious and nutritious mean by itself. Black beans are very high in dietary fiber.

Audio Webcast of the Healthy Edge classes I'll be teaching

This is a very awesome audio webcast of exactly it is I'll be teaching in my classes. I met Amber over a year ago, and through this last year I have learned so much about how insulin resistant really works, and how much it has been working on my over the years. This audio could change your life, and if your looking for a lifestyle, that is by far the healthiest way to improve the way you LOOK and FEEL, then let me know. Also, you can visit www.geththehealthedge.com and tell them Jen sent you

My first Healthy Edge Class!

I'm really looking forward to my first class on August 31st, 2009. So far I've got about a half dozen interested participants and looking for about a half dozen more. I'm so excited to have other's be on the road to a healthy lifestyle such as myself!

I have a great group of people in the Healthy Edge who are supporting me in my learning curve and the growth of my business. I am working hard at making some SMART goals and look forward to putting some of those up on here! Also, I'm going to be putting up some recipes soon and would love some input from other's about how to make their favorite recipes "healthy". For instance, my brother in law LOVES meat loaf, and we have a healthy meatloaf recipe. Amazing I know!

Cheers!
