Bean salads are healthy, easy on the budget and delicious! This salad can be made up to four days ahead, so it makes a great addition to your weekly lunch rotation, and it is perfect for packing for your next picnic or potluck.

If you have fresh corn available, we love using it raw in this salad, but if not, our frozen kernels work just as well; we like a bit of spice, but if you are sensitive, seed the jalapeño before adding it to the salad. Another great addition to this recipe is avocado, just make sure you add it right before serving, otherwise it will oxidize. If you make a large batch for the week, keep it undressed until you’re going to eat it, that way, it will keep longer.

Directions

  1. In large bowl, place black beans, corn, bell pepper, tomato, onion and jalapeño chili. Toss to combine.
  2. Add feta cheese, cilantro, pumpkin seeds and dressing to taste and gently mix in.
