Colourful Black Bean and Corn Salad
Adapted from the SMARTKitchen

SERVES: 4

Black beans are extremely high in protein and fibre. Just a one-cup serving of black beans provides 19 grams of fibre, 11 grams of protein and only .5 grams of fat. This salad is a tasty way to increase your fibre and protein.

Ingredients:
1 can of black beans drained and rinsed
1 small can of sweet corn kernels, drained
1/8 cup of red onion, chopped
¼ cup of red pepper, chopped
1/2 avocado, diced
1 tablespoon of fresh limejuice
1 tablespoon of olive oil
3 Tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro
Salt and pepper to taste


Directions:
Add all the above to a medium size bowl and mix gently.
