Ingredients

For the salad

  • 1 medium avocado (approximately 350 grams grams, 12.4 ounces)
  • 1 can black kidney beans (approximately 400 grams, 15 ounces)
  • 1 can sweet corn kernels (approximately 400 grams, 15 ounces)
  • 250 grams small tomatoes (we used mini tomatoes, but cherry, or mini Roma are fine., approximately 8.8 ounces)
  • 1 small red capsicum/bell pepper (¾ cup, approximately 135 grams, 4.8 ounces)
  • ½ small red onion (¼ cup, approximately 60 grams, 2.12 ounces)
  • 1 bunch coriander/cilantro (1 cup chopped)
  • Sea salt and cracked black pepper

For the vinaigrette...

  • cup lime juice
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ½ teaspoons ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoons chilli powder (optional)

Instructions

  • Place the kidney beans, corn kernels, and mini tomatoes in a colander and give them a good rinse under cold water in the sink.
  • Wash and chop the red capsicum into a small dice, discarding the core and seeds. Peel and trim the red onion, then also dice it.
  • Thoroughly wash the coriander and give it a good shake to remove the excess water, patting it dry before roughly chopping it.
  • Place all the dressing ingredients in a small glass jar and season it, shaking to combine. Pit and peel and dice the avocado.
  • Add everything to a large mixing bowl, season, pour over the dressing, mix well, and adjust the flavourings to your liking.
  • Arrange in a salad bowl, top with the sliced chilli, and enjoy!
