Colorful Summer Salad

Hi there! With this great summer weather (finally) comes refreshing fresh summer salads in my home. I thought this recipe would be a good add-on to last week's post for black bean burgers.  This salad is great as a side dish or can be eaten as a meal by itself because the beans pack the dish with protein. I just kind of made it up so there aren't really any exact measurements, just add the seasonings and lemon juice to your liking.  I think this would pair well with homemade guacamole too, mmm.

Colorful Summer Salad:

Can of black bean, rinsed and drained
Can of corn, rinsed and drained
2 plum tomatoes cored (to take out excess liquid) and diced
1/4 of a red onion, diced
1 bunch of scallions, chopped
1 handful of cilantro, stems removed and leaves chopped up
1 large avocado, diced
1 can of hearts of palm (about 6 large stems for me), sliced
salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice to taste


Mix all ingredients through and serve! Stays in the fridge for a couple of days but definitely best when eaten the same day.

Enjoy :)
