Ingredients
- 200 grams Fresh green beans
- 200 grams Corn kernels, fresh or frozen
- 150 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 whole Red bell pepper
- 1 whole Cucumber
- 1 small Red onion
- 400 grams Black beans, canned
- 20 grams Fresh cilantro
- 60 ml Lime juice
- 60 ml Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Bring a pot of water to boil and add the green beans. Cook for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender, then drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
Step 2
If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, ensure it's thawed before using.
Step 3
Halve the cherry tomatoes. Cut the red bell pepper and cucumber into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the red onion.
Step 4
Drain and rinse the canned black beans to remove any excess sodium.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, and black beans.
Step 6
Chop the fresh cilantro finely and add it to the bowl.
Step 7
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, and ground black pepper to create the dressing.
Step 8
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss until everything is well coated.
Step 9
Allow the salad to sit for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
