What You’ll Need
- 1 can Garbanzo Beans
- 1 can Black Beans (Crave extra Zest: Try Cuban Style Black beans)
- 1 can Sweet Corn
- 4-6 Garlic Cloves (minced, to taste)
- A bunch of basil leaves (chopped, to taste, I use 1-2 full bunches of leaves)
- A splash of Red Wine Vinegar (to taste, light coating over entire salad)
- A splash of Olive Oil (to taste, same as the Red Wine Vinegar)
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Trader Joe’s Smoked African Spices (optional, to taste)
How TO
- Put the beans and (warmed/microwaved) corn into a strainer and rinse, allowing all liquid to drain
- Put beans, corn, minced garlic, chopped basil leaves into a large bowl
- Add red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt+pepper (any favorite seasoning toppings)
- Mix, and mix well as you add each ingredient
- EAT
- *Chef’s remarks, I like this salad cold, right out of the fridge. And it makes a great side to my paleo big-o bacon burgers, (scroll down mid page for recipe)
- Additional add in: tomatoes, serve over a bed of kale, quinoa, or couscous.
