Recipe By The Spruce Eats

A quick and easy southwestern-inspired vegetarian and vegan corn and bean salad recipe with black beans, avocados, lime juice, bell peppers, dressed in zippy and zesty fresh lime. Lastly, it has an olive oil dressing with a touch of salt and cayenne pepper. We love bean salads: they're easy to stick in a container and pack in lunch boxes or office bags, they're high in protein and fiber which is great for everyone, and, best of all, they're simple, cheap and easy to prepare, with plenty of options for adding or substituting ingredients without too much trouble. Like it spicier? Add some hot sauce. Hate bell peppers? Use pimentos. If you are cooking for kids, omit the cayenne pepper and let them smother it with ketchup. Got a ton of roasted garlic on hand? Great, toss it in You really can't go wrong with most bean salad recipes, and this one is no exception. This southwestern black bean and corn salad recipe is vegetarian, vegan and also gluten-free.
