Dressing Ingredients

• 1 clove garlic smashed
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• ½ teaspoon red chilli powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Salad Ingredients

• 1 cup sweet corn boiled
• 1 cup red bell pepper
• 1 cup yellow bell pepper
• ½ medium onion finely chopped
• 1 small tomato finely chopped
• 1 ½ cup black beans pre-boiled
• ½ medium avocado butter fruit, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ¼ cup coriander freshly chopped
• ½ teaspoon pepper freshly ground

Instructions

 

Dressing Instructions

• In a bowl, pour lemon juice, salt and pepper.
• Now, peel the garlic and mash it thoroughly to make it into a paste, as you do not want to taste garlic bits in your salad.
• Add mashed garlic into the lime juice along with the red chilli powder.
• Finally, add ground pepper and whisk all ingredients, gradually pouring olive oil.
• Leave it aside to pour onto your salad later.

Salad Instructions

• First, we will need to boil our sweet corn and black beans.
• Soak the black beans in cold water for about an hour.
• Boil water in a pot with a bit of salt.
• Once the water is boiling, add black beans and sweet corn.
• Let them simmer until they are soft and cooked. Make sure you don’t overcook as we want it to have a nice bite to them. This will take about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Drain the excess water.
• Peel your avocado and cut the soft pulp into bite-size cubes.
• Add all the veggies one by one with olive oil in a bowl. (Add the avocado in the end because we do not want them to be mashed while mixing)
• Once you have added all the veggies, pour the dressing slowly, covering all parts.
• Take 2 spoons and give it a good mix making sure the dressing coats all veggies.
• Now season with salt and pepper.
• In the end, add chopped avocado and freshly chopped coriander.
