Ingredients

  • 2 cups rice, cooked
  • 12 ounces black beans, drained
  • 1/2 tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 cup green onion, diced
  • 1/2 avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, minced
  • 1/4 cup black olives, sliced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup jalapeno, diced (optional)
  • 1/2 cup corn kernel (optional)
  • Dressing
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • crushed red pepper flakes

Method

  • Mix up salad ingredients.
  • Mix up dressing ingredients.
  • Combine and let flavors blend for at least 30 minutes.
  • We served the avocado on the side since only my husband likes it. The cilantro is a key ingredient for this. I made the dressing as written but doubled the lime juice. We used brown organic rice and home cooked black beans instead of canned.
  • Cooking time is for the 3rd step. Not included is the time to cook the rice.
