Black Bean & Veggie Salad..

This is a delicious and filling salad that I learnt from my friend. Its got all the goodness of the veggies and the black beans. You can pretty much alter the quantities and the veggies as per your choice. All in all, its very wholesome..

Ingredients

Black beans, boiled - 15 oz. can, about 1 1/2 cup

Fresh/frozen Corn kernels - 1/2 cup, boiled. Microwave for 2 minutes.

Tomato, chopped - 1 cup

Avacados, skinned, pitted and diced - 2 nos.

Green Bell Pepper, chopped fine - 1/2 cup

Red Onions, chopped fine - 1/2 cup (optional). I did not add this time.

Cilantro/Mint or combination of both, chopped fine - abt 1 tbsp

Salt - to taste

Lemon Juice - 2 tsp

Black Pepper powder - as per choice

Method

- Add all the cut veggies and the beans to a bowl, add salt, pepper powder and lemon juice, toss well and serve.

Note :

- Add the salt and lemon juice just when you are ready to serve.

- I drain the liquid and rinse the beans from the can before I use them.

- Orange juice and orange/grapefruit segments works very well in this salad. In that case, eliminate the lemon juice.

- Add any boiled beans of your choice, or any fresh sprouts.
