Ingredients

  • 1 can 15 ounces [or roughly 425g] black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup or 240g sweet corn, drained
  • 1 red bell pepper diced to perfection
  • ½ cup [or 20g] fresh cilantro finely chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • ½ of a red onion chopped just right [or around 75g]
  • 2 tablespoons [or 30ml] olive oil
  • A teaspoon [or about 5g] of chili powder
  • A pinch ½ teaspoon [or 2.5g], of cumin
  • Salt and pepper sprinkle to your heart’s content

Instructions

  • Start with those black beans. Get them in a bowl, ready to mingle.
  • Toss in that sweet corn.
  • Up next, those vibrant diced red bell peppers and the finely chopped red onion.
  • Cilantro? Yes, please! Get it in there.
  • Squeeze out every drop of that lime. Zest is best!
  • A gracious drizzle of olive oil is essential.
  • Spice it up with chili powder and cumin.
  • A sprinkle of salt, a dash of pepper, and you’re golden.
  • Mix everything with love, letting each ingredient get acquainted.
  • Patience! Let it sit for about 10 minutes. Trust me, it’s worth the wait.

Notes

  • Got an avocado? Half of it, diced, would blend in like a charm.
  • For those who enjoy a little fire, throw in a chopped jalapeño.
  • Fresh cilantro is the secret weapon. Always!
  • If you’ve got some time on your hands, let it chill in the fridge for an hour.
