Black Bean & Corn Guacamole

 

 

By Coach Maria - Salus Nutritionist & Food Expert

 

This appetizer dish was totally inspired by the California Pizza Kitchen.

When we first ordered this from their small cravings menu, I loved the flavor and the seemingly simple ingredients.

What I didn't love was the portion size - when they describe small, they really mean it.  It was enough to serve barely a quarter of a person! 

 

Easy fix, though, I could recreate this at home!

 

This recipe makes enough to feed several people with plenty of leftovers - because this is so good, you'll want to have more the following day.

 

Ingredients

serves 6

 

3 avocados, diced

1/2 c sweet corn

1/4 c black beans

1/2 c red onion, diced

1/2 red bell pepper, diced

handful of cilantro, chopped

2 small limes

1/2 tsp salt

 

Combine all ingredients except avocados and juice from only 1 lime.

Squeeze juice from remainder lime over the diced avocados and mix.

Combine corn mixture with avocado, mix gently.

Done.

You can build a guacamole tower by packing a glass ramekin or large drinking glass with the mixture and flip over a plate.  Serve with some chips (gluten free!) and you're good to go!

 

*For a spicy version:

Add a Serrano pepper, finely diced
