Corn, Bean and Grain Salad

Corn, Bean and Grain Salad

• 1 1/2 Cups Black Beans

• 1 1/2 Cups Brown Rice, or another grain of your choice. The salad in the picture above was made with millet. Brown rice is my favorite in this salad, but since I love brown rice and tend to use it a lot in other dishes, I try to use other grain to mix things up.

• 3/4 Cups Corn

• 1/2 Red Bell Pepper, Diced

• 1 Tomatoes, Diced

• 2 Green Onions, sliced

• 2 Tbsp. Cup Fresh Cilantro, Chopped

• 1-2 Avocados, diced

Dressing

• 1 1/2 Tbsp. Lime Juice

• 1 1/2 Tbsp. Organic, Raw Apple Cider Vinegar

• 6 Tbsp. Organic, Extra Virgin Olive Oil

• 1 Clove Garlic, Minced

• 3/4 tsp. Salt

• 1/8 tsp. Garlic Powder

• 1/4 tsp. Chili Powder

• 1/2 tsp. Cumin

• Pinch Cayenne Pepper

1. Place all salad ingredients in a bowl, except for the avocado.

2. Mix dressing ingredients together.

3. Pour dressing over the salad and mix well.

4. Add avocado just before serving.

TIPS

The leftovers are great as a wrap filling topped with ranch style dressing, or on top of a bed of greens.

Here is a link for a very similar recipe. This recipe is one of my favorites! You could substitute a grain for a portion of the beans and corn for a similar version to the recipe above.

If you have RealTaste Vida seasoning, you can use Vida and Salt, to taste, in place of the seasoning in the dressing above.
