Everybody enjoys good food. Some recipes are so easy to prepare that anyone can do it in just a few minutes, while others may be complicated, but the result is worth the effort. If you got tired of always the same recipes, try making one entirely different Mexican black bean salad recipe that might surprise you with aromas and flavors. Here are a few simple and easy to make recipes you will just love.
Basic ingredients are the same, black beans from the can, canned sweet corn, avocado, sliced, lime juice, chili powder, garlic, minced, a clove or two, or more if you prefer, salt and pepper and olive oil. But, here are also two hard-cooked eggs, two potatoes cooked in skin, peeled and sliced, red sweet pepper, also sliced, white vinegar and green onion.
So, first you have to slice your onion and mix the slices with salt, white vinegar and lime juice. Cover the bowl and leave it aside or, even better, in your fridge. Rinse and drain beans and corns and combine all other ingredients together. In the end, add prepared onions and more salt or oil, or other spices of your choice, if needed. Coriander leaves will round this combination.
Another interesting variation of this popular recipe includes unusual ingredients such as spinach. You will need 250 grams of fresh, young spinach, a can of black beans, a can of corn, 200 grams feta cheese, olive oil, garlic, chili pepper, salt, three slices of toast, oregano and lime juice. First, rinse and drain canned ingredients.
Cut your toast into small cubes. In a large pan greased with oil toast these cubes with a little bit of salt and oregano. Set aside. Combine lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and slices of chili pepper with minced garlic. Mix well. Dice your feta cheese and combine all ingredients together with bread cubes and your prepared dressing.
For this unusual recipe you will need a grill. Take one small eggplant, one zucchini, one green and one red sweet pepper, one can black beans and a can of sweet corn, one large spoon of acetto balsamico, olive oil, three cloves minced garlic, two tortillas, one avocado, juice of one or two limes and grated hard cheese, and, of course, salt, pepper and chili powder.
Slice and grill eggplant and zucchini slices. Slice and grill green pepper and make tiny tortilla strips and grill them, too. Rinse and drain beans and corn. Combine oil, acetto balsamico, lime, garlic and spices and mix well. Slices of red pepper you should mix together with all other ingredients, including grilled ones, while still warm. Add fresh basil or coriander leaves for decoration and enjoy.
This simple salad is really nice one. Use corncobs, black beans, avocado, garlic, salt, pepper, chili powder, lime juice, red sweet pepper, sliced and good olive oil. Then, add chopped dried tomatoes and green salad cut into stripes. Mix well and serve in tortillas, for example, or as a side dish, you will simply enjoy in it. It really doesn't take too much time to prepare, and tastes great.
