Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Large salad bowl
  • Citrus juicer

Instructions

1 ✓

Drain the beans and corn and rinse thoroughly with cold water.

Tip: The liquid from the tin can be slimy, which would make the salad 'cloudy', so rinsing is important.
2 ✓

Dice the tomatoes and pepper. Chop the coriander.

Tip: Try to match the vegetable cubes to the bean size for uniform texture.
3 ✓

Prepare the dressing: in a small bowl emulsify (whisk smooth) the oil, lime juice, salt, pepper, and chilli.

Tip: The acidity of the lime will 'cook' the flavours and preserve the avocado.
4 ✓

Dice the avocado and immediately toss with the beans, corn, tomatoes, peppers, and the dressing.

Tip: It is important that the avocado meets the lime dressing immediately, this slows down browning (enzymatic browning).
5 ✓

Stir in the coriander and serve. Excellent as a dip (salsa) with chips too.

Tip: If you don't like coriander (you might taste soap due to genetics), use parsley.

Recipe FAQ

How long does it keep?
Due to the avocado, it's best eaten fresh because it oxidises (browns). If you want to keep it, only add the avocado before consumption.
