Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Cooked corn kernels
- 1 cup Black beans (cooked or canned, rinsed and drained)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 0.25 cup Red onion (finely diced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and blanch the broccoli florets for 2–3 minutes until they turn bright green. Immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, cooked corn kernels, black beans, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and chopped parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lime juice, honey, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently but thoroughly to coat everything evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a light main dish or a side. Enjoy!
