This black bean salad with corn is great on its own, over some fresh greens, or wrapped in a sprouted grain tortilla. It uses Mexican flavors for a spicy healthy vegan recipe kick, and fresh vegetables for a light and refreshing salad.

Prep time:
Makes enough for 4 healthy vegan salads

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups black beans (cooked measure)
  • 1 cup corn
  • 1 lime (or 2), zested and juiced
  • 1/2 Tbsp olive or flax oil (optional)
  • 1 tsp oregano, fresh or dried
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp coriander
  • pinch of cayenne
  • pinch salt
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, any color, chopped
  • 2 green onions, chopped, or a handful of chives
  • 2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, minced (optional)

Directions

  1. Put the beans and corn in a bowl, along with the lime zest and juice, spices, and a pinch of salt. Leave this to marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 2 hours. The longer you leave it, the more the flavors will infuse into the beans.
  2. Stir in the rest of the ingredients and serve.
