When you buy a tin of organic black beans rather than soak and cook them from dry, this is a super quick and easy dish. It’s a really fresh yet substantial salad which means it works in both summer and winter months.

Ingredients

• 1 400g tin of black beans, rinsed thoroughly
• 2 cobs of sweetcorn cooked and taken off cob, or 1 tin of sweetcorn
• 1 punnet of cherry tomatoes, cut in half
• 2 lebanese cucumbers, cubed
• 6 shallots, finely chopped
• ⅓ cup coriander, finely chopped
• 1 red capsicum, finely cubed

NEXT DAY LUNCH ADDITIONS (serves 2)

• 425g tin of tuna, drained
• 1 avocado, cubed

Dressing

• 1-2 limes, juiced
• ½ cup olive oil
• 2 tbsp tabasco sauce
• Salt and pepper

Method

1. Add all chopped salad ingredients together, then add avocado and tuna to make it into a lunch dish.
2. To freshen up, you can add fresh chopped herbs such as parsley and coriander and some extra dressing.

This is a great salad to have as an evening meal with fish or chicken or, like in this video, just add tuna and avocado and have it for lunch.

Some of you already know that I’m not what you’d call a “natural” cook…I just don’t have that flare when it comes to whipping up easy healthy meals.

So, just to show that even if you don’t think you can cook either, we wanted to do this “If Donna Can Cook It So Can You” series because if I can cook it anyone else can too!

Often you see these gourmet chefs creating a so-called ‘easy healthy recipe’ in  minutes, yet the rest of us spend an hour and a half and still don’t get edible results.

So please subscribe to our DonnaAndTora Channel on YouTube, as I will be cooking up a storm (and a few other things as well!) so we can all enjoy easy healthy recipes together.

Until the next video

In health, happiness and weight control
