This salad is a perfect addition to a summer meal—it functions
as both a starch and a vegetable getting you out of the kitchen faster and back
to enjoying the warm weather. And if it’s
hot, there’s no need to turn on the stove with this recipe.
The recipe is quite “loose” in that you can add/remove
whatever you do or don’t like! It goes especially well with grilled fish or meat.
Ingredients:
1 15 ½ oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 avocado, diced
1 small red onion (or half a large one), diced
1 cup of corn (frozen and defrosted or fresh)
1 red and/or yellow pepper, diced
Juice of two fresh limes
1/3 cup olive oil
Cilantro, chopped (more or less to taste)
Directions:
Putting this together is super simple. Prepare all your ingredients and toss in a
large bowl. Whisk lime juice and olive
oil, pour over salad and toss again.
Whisk together dressing
Delicious and healthy!

On her blog, The Farmer’s Daughter, Shelby McDonald is growing
her audience as she posts recipes, gardening tips, and her experiences
raising two kids and running Love Blossom Farm in the small western
Michigan town of Lovett.
Working the farm is demanding but peaceful—until that peace is shattered when the minister’s wife is murdered on Shelby’s property during a fund-raiser for a local church. But the manure really hits the fan when Shelby’s good friend veterinarian Kelly Thacker emerges as the prime suspect. Shelby decides to dig in and find the murderer by herself. As more suspects crop up, she’ll have to move fast—before someone else buys the farm. . . .
