Hey Friends! How is your Sunday treating you? The sun is shining here on the mountain! I thought I would share with you all the wonderful recipes from last nights grill out for two 🙂 Hubby and I rarely have Saturday evenings to ourselves so we took full advantage of making some REAL FOOD! Can you believe our REAL FOOD CHALLENGE is OVER tomorrow!! There will be a full recap on that later this week.
Black Bean, Corn, and Avocado Salad
Ingredients:
3 limes freshly squeezed  (you can use the bottled kind but fresh would be even better)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon sea salt
pinch cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 15 oz. can black beans, rinsed
3/4 c. frozen corn kernels (or one fresh grilled corn on the cob, which I used)
1 avocado, peeled and chopped into 1/2 inch chunks
10-20 cherry tomatoes, halved
Directions:
In a small bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, cayenne, chili powder, and cilantro until well combined. Mix together corn and black beans into medium bowl with avocado and tomatoes. Pour liquid mixture over bean mixture and stir until well coated. Serve immediately or refrigerate for an hour or so (if you want to make it up to a day or two before serving, you could combine everything except the avocados and then add those at the last minute so they don’t brown).
