Ingredients

• 1 cup Black soybeans (low-carb alternative to traditional beans)
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, diced
• 1 cup Cucumber, diced
• 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, diced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 small Jalapeño, finely diced (optional for spice)
• 2 medium Lime, juiced
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the black soybeans thoroughly in a colander to remove any excess liquid.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the black soybeans, diced cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, and chopped cilantro.

Step 3

If you prefer a spicy kick, add the finely diced jalapeño to the mixture.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, garlic powder, sea salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the lime dressing over the bean and vegetable mixture, tossing gently to coat all ingredients evenly.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more lime juice or salt to balance the flavors.

Step 7

Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, though it can be served immediately if desired.

Step 8

Serve chilled as a dip with low-carb vegetable sticks, over a bed of lettuce as a salad, or as a topping for grilled proteins.
