I bet you’re looking for a quick n’ easy meal prep that solves the “’what’s for dinner tonight?” dilemma. Avocado Black Bean Edamame Corn Salad beckons. Pair this salad with a complimentary dish that suits your taste buds or eat it solely, for a simple dinner. Dilemma solved.
And speaking of dilemmas, how do you choose from the varied threads of food advice to settle on the ones you’d like to follow? My good friend Mindy Theroux say that some people suggest 3 packs a day — not cigarettes, but protein, in pack-of-cards sized portions. Another close buddy, Harriet Sugar Miller, advises a plant-based diet, low in protein, especially animal protein, and long, overnight fasts. Brian Kateman came up with the term “Reducetarian,” for those of us cutting at least 10% of the meat from our diet. How do you decide upon your food style?
Avocado Black Bean Edamame Corn Salad
- 1 can black beans, rinsed, drained
- 8 oz shelled edamame beans, sold frozen
- 8 oz sweet corn kernels, previously frozen
- 1 jar Trader Joe’s Corn Salsa or Stonewall Kitchen’s Corn Relish
- 1 – 2 avocados, diced
In a medium-sized bowl, combine ingredients, except for avocado. Refrigerate, covered for 1 – 24 hours to let flavours mingle. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before serving. Gently fold in avocado. Serve on a platter for best effect. Keeps well in refrigerator for a few days. Serves about 6 to as many as 20 small portions in a buffet style meal.

Thanks Sonia! Someday we need a combined cooking photoshoot so I can gather some Sonia knowledge on both fronts.

Wonderful idea! Have everything but the corn relish. Might try beet relish beckoning to me from my cupboard! Life is better with a soundtrack! Hugs!

Beet relish would be great in this recipe! I like these snowballing ideas, Diane. And hugs back!
