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

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the black beans, black-eyed peas, and sweet corn. Stir gently to mix the base ingredients together.

Step 2

Add the diced roma tomatoes, avocados, red onion, chopped cilantro, and jalapeños to the bowl. Mix carefully to avoid mashing the avocados.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Serve chilled or at room temperature with tortilla chips, crusty bread, or as a side dish.
