My favorite healthy recipe!

My friend, Sara, brought this Black Bean Salad over for lunch the other day...LOVE IT! I've had other recipes similar but this one is all healthy! The best part is you can have it for a snack or dress it up and make a complete meal out of it. This recipe is so easy and it makes alot too making it a great "go to" when you want something now (preventing you from maybe grabbing something less healthy ;0)



Ingredients:
2 cans black bean, rinsed & drained
1 can corn, drained
1 can diced tomatoes, drained (or 2 tomatoes, diced)
1 red pepper, diced
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1-2 avocados
6 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup lime juice
1 clove garlic, minced
dash of salt
dash of cayenne pepper

Stir together, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, salt and cayenne pepper

Don't forget to drain and rinse your black beans!

Combine remaining ingredients and pour dressing over the top! Enjoy by the spoonfull or...

Wrap it up in a whole wheat tortilla with some shredded chicken and you've got an awesome meal!
