Black Bean Salad with Avocado, Tomatoes, Red Onion, and Cilantro

Black Bean Salad with Avocado, Tomatoes, Red Onion, and Cilantro

by Pam on June 2, 2013

I saw a pinto bean salad over at Kalyn’s Kitchen[1] that looked really delicious so I decided to make it. Unfortunately, I was out of pinto beans but luckily I had black beans which worked out great. I loved the combination of the flavors and textures in this salad – it was a big hit with all of us. I made burritos using this salad and some leftover flank steak for my husband’s lunch the next day and he LOVED it. It’s a quick and easy side dish that will pair nicely with most Mexican main entrees.

Place the drained and rinsed black beans into a bowl; add the vinegar and mix until well combined. Set aside. Place the avocado, tomato, red onion, and cilantro together in a bowl.

Combine the lime juice, garlic, and oil into a small container, whisk until well combined. Pour avocado mixture in with the black beans then drizzled the top with the lime mixture. Mix until evenly coated and well combined. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Serve immediately. Enjoy.

Grilled Chicken with Black Bean Mango Salsa

Grilled chicken breast, seasoned with cumin and spices and topped with a fresh salsa made with sweet mango, protein-rich black beans and lots of lime and cilantro for flavor.

Let’s face it, grilled chicken can be pretty boring, but not if you serve it with this zesty salsa. You may want to even make this salsa on it’s own, it makes a fantastic dip if you serve it with chips – seriously good! Sometimes, I even throw in some diced avocado – yum!

This is perfect to make for a weeknight dinner, it’s quick and light, high in fiber, protein, and gluten-free.

Crock Pot Santa Fe Chicken


 

Slow cooked shredded chicken with corn, tomatoes and black beans. Prep this the night before and turn your crock pot[1] on in the morning for an easy weeknight meal.

Serve over rice or in a bowl with nachos on the side, and don’t forget the toppings. Chopped scallions, fresh cilantro, fat free yogurt or sour cream and reduced fat cheddar are my favorites.

Crock Pot Sante Fe Chicken came in first place (yay!) for Ziplist’s[2] most saved recipe
in 2012 (they have over 800K recipes). I’m thrilled, and I see why you
would choose this one! It’s delicious, easy, requires no pre-cooking,
and everyone loves an easy slow cooker recipe. It’s also kid-friendly,
freezer friendly and gluten-free. In it’s honor I decided to revive it
from the archives and give it some love.
