This is by far one of my most requested “recipes”, so I wanted to share it with all of you! I threw this together for a Cinco de Mayo party several years ago and it’s been a staple dish at many parties ever since. It’s super easy – no cooking involved, just assembly — and it’s pretty too! It’s a perfect side dish for any summer BBQ or your weekly Taco Tuesday fiesta! You can serve it as a dip with tortilla chips or simply as a salad on the side. Here’s what you need for this yummy, healthy dip:
- One can black beans, strained and rinsed
- One small can of corn, strained
- One carton of grape or cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
- One bell pepper, diced (I use orange to add to the variety of colors)
- 1-2 avocados, cubed
- A dash or 2 of cumin & chili powder and salt / garlic salt (to taste)
- Juice of half a lime
- Cilantro
Combine all ingredients together and ENJOY!
