Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can (15 oz) Black Beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) Black-Eyed Peas, rinsed and drained
  • 3 medium Roma Tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • 1 large Yellow Bell Pepper, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup Red Onion, finely diced
  • 1-2 Jalapeños, seeded and minced
  • 1.5 cups Sweet Corn, canned or froze
  • 2 ripe Avocados, diced
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Cilantro, chopped
  • 1/3 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Lime Juice
  • 2 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup
  • 1 tsp Ground Cumi
  • 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
  • Salt and Black Pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Open the cans of black beans and black-eyed peas. Rinse them under cold water until the water runs clear and let them drain.
  2. Dice the Roma tomatoes, yellow bell pepper, and red onion into small pieces. Finely mince the jalapeño and chop the fresh cilantro.
  3. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, red wine vinegar, honey, cumin, and chili powder. Whisk until emulsified.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the beans, peas, corn, tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. Pour the dressing over and toss gently.
  5. Just before serving, peel and dice the avocados and fold them into the mixture.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure to seed the tomatoes to prevent sogginess. Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
