Ingredients
- 1 400 g can mixed beans, black beans or kidney beans
- 1 cup frozen corn kernel
- 1 Lebanese cucumber, chopped
- 1 red capsicum, chopped
- 1/2 avocado, chopped
- 2 tbs tomato salsa
Method
- Drain the beans in a colander in the sink.
- Add frozen corn to the colander and rinse with hot water from the tap to rinse the beans and defrost the corn in one go.
- Mix vegetables together, and top with salsa and any other fresh flavours (see serving suggestions).
Variation:
- Use the vegetables you have available! Mixed lettuce leaves, tomatoes, baby spinach, tomatoes, tinned or grilled corn, red onion, spring onion, roasted sweet potato and grated carrots would all work well.
- Swap the salsa for a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lime juice and plenty of cracked pepper.
