Black Bean Salad yummy :) PDF Print E-mail
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
  • 1 cup of couscous
  • 2 cups of boiling water
  • 1 1/2 cups of frozen yellow corn
  • 2 cups cooked black beans
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • a few sliced scallions
  • about 16 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/2 of a habenero pepper, minced
  • fresh cilantro leaves - I used lots, at least 1/2 cup
  • salt, cumin and rice vinegar to taste
Directions:

Put the couscous in a large bowl. Pour the 2 cups of boiling water over it. Cover the bowl. When the couscous has absorbed the water (about 20 mins.), add the frozen corn and mix. The heat from the couscous will thaw the corn. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. This tastes great at room temperature. I'm having a big bowl of it for lunch today.
