Ingredients

  • 15 oz black beans rinsed and drained
  • 15 oz chickpeas drained (otherwise called garbanzo beans)
  • 15 oz diced tomatoes
  • 15 oz sweet corn drained
  • 4 oz green chilies diced
  • 1 red onion chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper seeded and chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper diced, optional
  • 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
  • 2 limes juiced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • salt/pepper to taste
  • avocado slices for topping

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients (minus avocado) in a large bowl. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Top with avocado slices just before serving.

Notes

  • Here are a handful of ideas for ways to enjoy Loaded Veggie Salad: as a solo lunch salad, a topping for a leafy salad along with grilled chicken, a complement to scrambled eggs, a wrap filling and a dip for chips. It never gets old and the flavors are amazing!
  • To make the salad even more fresh, replace canned diced tomatoes with a pint of halved grape or cherry tomatoes. Or chop a big, juicy, ripe Roma or heirloom tomato!
  • Cut the corn off cobs in place of the canned corn for an even fresher salad.
  • For an extra touch of yum, add 1-2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar.
  • Thinly sliced green onions or chopped fresh green beans would both be great additions to this recipe.
  • This is a great recipe to add to your meal prep list! See my first bullet point about its versatility. I promise you’ll eat it up in various ways in just a few days!
  • I typically use a green bell pepper for this salad, but feel free to use a red, orange or yellow bell pepper instead!
  • This recipe is 100% gluten free so if you love to watch nutritional facts on a recipe, at least you know this one is healthy and great for a GF diet!!
