Five Minute Bean Salad
Author: 
Serves: ½ cup
 
Ingredients
  • 1 cup black bean (pre-cooked)
  • 1 cup corn (optional)
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 1 avocado, chopped
  • 1 red pepper, chopped
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro
  • ½ cup fresh basil
  • 1 lime
  • 4 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (evoo)
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • Red pepper flakes to taste
  • *Brown rice is optional
Instructions
  1. Beans:
  2. In a large pot add 5 cups of hot water. Bring to a boil and boil for 2-3 minutes, remove from heat, cover and stand at least 1 hour (quick-soak method), but preferably 4 hours. The longer soaking time is recommended to allow a greater amount of sugar to dissolve, thus helping the beans to be more easily digested. Discard soak water and rinse beans.
  3. Mix all ingredients into a large mixing bowl, chill before serving for at least one hour.
