Fresh, flavourful & Festive, this Corn Bean Avocado Salad is a summer delight. Creamy avocado, sweet corn & hearty kidney beans together dish out a winner!
We are still bingeing on salads at home! Light and fresh, we are happy to call them our meals and I couldn't be more pleased! Bringing nutritious wholesome food like this Corn Bean Avocado Salad on the table doesn't need loads of time and effort. Just a little bit of prep time is all I'm asking for!
This salad is a cinch to put together once you have some cooked kidney beans and corn on hand. Crunchy bits of bell peppers, cool creamy avocado, spicy bites of jalapeno, and the lovely splash of color and texture from red cabbage microgreens make a lovely delicious salad that we couldn't stop picking on.
The zippy zesty basil cilantro dressing is a keeper, I promise! You can use it as a dipping sauce, or a marinade for your meats, fish, paneer, and tofu. Making your own vinaigrettes is not only an easy task, but these are indeed so much healthier than the store-bought variety. Why deal with all the extra sugar/salt and preservatives when you really don't need to?
I served this salad with some plain corn chips and the leftovers went in a wrap for the little man's tiffin.I find that my fussy eater will eat pretty much everything if I serve it differently. So even a small change does the trick!
Half the joy of cooking is sharing it with others. That’s why I’m always eager to hear from you. So go right ahead & drop a comment or reach out on Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, or Facebook. I hope you love this corn bean avocado salad as much as we do!
