- 1 Tablespoon Lime Juice
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 whole Chicken Breast, Grilled And Sliced
- Drain and rinse the black beans and place in a bowl large enough to hold all the ingredients.
- Roast Corn on your grill for about 15 minutes; long enough to char most of the kernels youll need to turn the ears every 5 minutes or so.
- Remove from grill and allow to cool.
- Cut the corn from the cob and add to the black beans.
- While youre waiting for the corn to grill, add the cilantro, minced chilies, lime juice, diced tomatoes and 1 teaspoon of the olive oil to the black beans.
- Halve the avacado, pit it and then scoop out the meat and dice it before adding to the black bean mixture.
- Add a dash of garlic salt and mix well.
- Refrigerate to get everyone acquainted.
- *For a Main Dish Salad:
- Place your choice of greens in a salad bowl, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, pinch of salt and juice of 1 lime.
- I mix this up with my hands because I find you dont need as much oil as you think you do when you can feel it being distributed....I dont know, thats just me.
- Add the Black Bean Salsa to the greens and toss lightly.
- Serve with warm flour or corn tortillas.
- ** My husband, the meat eater, says that grilled chicken breast would be really really good on top of this salad.
- I think all you need is a plop of sour cream!
- Make it your own and Enjoy!
