Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz (1 can, drained and rinsed) black beans
- 15 oz (1 can, drained and rinsed) black-eyed peas
- 15 oz (1 can, drained) sweet corn
- 3 medium (diced) roma tomatoes
- 2 large (diced) avocados
- 0.5 medium (finely diced) red onion
- 0.5 cup (chopped) cilantro
- 1 small (seeded and finely diced) jalapeños
- 0.25 cup (freshly squeezed, about 2 limes) lime juice
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey (or agave syrup for vegan option)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp (adjust to taste) salt
- 0.25 tsp (freshly ground) black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the black beans, black-eyed peas, and sweet corn. Stir gently to mix the base ingredients together.
Add the diced roma tomatoes, avocados, red onion, chopped cilantro, and jalapeños to the bowl. Mix carefully to avoid mashing the avocados.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey (or agave syrup), garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable and bean mixture. Toss gently to coat everything evenly with the dressing. Adjust salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with tortilla chips, crusty bread, or as a side dish.
