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.
