- Y'all we are fixing to get ready for some hot weather.
0:05
It's already like this week, it's supposed to be
0:08
in the high seventies, isn't that right?
0:11
So, hot weather is just around the corner.
0:14
So I thought that I would put together something
0:19
that's kind cool and refreshing,
0:22
and wouldn't like drag you down.
0:26
And it's my Southwestern avocado and black bean salad.
0:31
So we're gonna start with some romaine,
0:34
that's been kind of diced up.
0:37
We've got black beans, we've got cherry tomatoes,
0:40
that have been cut in half,
0:42
we've got whole kernel corn.
0:44
We've got fresh avocados and we have some cheese.
0:50
And I think, let's see what kind of cheese is that?
0:54
It's Jack, it's Pepper Jack.
0:57
So, the dressing for this is very, very simple.
1:01
It's a fourth of a cup of cilantro.
1:06
So those of you that don't like cilantro,
1:09
I would suggest using fresh parsley.
1:14
And I've got a couple of tablespoons of lime juice,
1:21
and a couple of dashes of my hot sauce.
1:25
It's hard to do a dash when it, when it's, oops,
1:32
that might be four dashes.
1:37
And then we've got our oil, our olive oil.
1:40
So I'm just gonna whisk this together.
1:56
I'm gonna add a little salt and pepper,
2:00
rather than salt and peppering it at the end,
2:05
little bit of salt, little bit of pepper.
2:08
And this is one of those salads that when you dress it,
2:14
you want to eat it right then.
2:16
So I'm gonna put our salad together,
2:19
and I'm gonna cover this and keep it on the side.
2:23
So when everybody's in here and ready to eat
2:26
I'll drizzle our dressing all over and toss it.
2:30
Alright, so we've got our romaine, we've got our black bean.
2:40
that black beans have so much protein in, in them.
2:45
It's like eating a meat, isn't it?
2:50
As far as the protein goes.
2:52
And then we've got our sliced cherry tomatoes,
2:57
we've got our whole kernel corn.
3:03
And if you're lucky enough to have fresh corn coming in
3:09
Look how pretty this is.
3:14
You know, I put on my little charm bracelet
3:18
and I am catching everything with that anchor, I mean.
3:26
So I will not put on the avocados
3:30
until I'm ready to mix everything together,
3:34
because I feel like they won't turn dark as quick.
3:40
But you can see how light and yummy this is gonna be.
3:49
I'm gonna taste a little bit of,
4:00
it's gonna be so good.
4:02
I can tell that it's gonna need a little bit more salt.
4:14
So like I said, when you, when you dress this,
4:19
you wanna sit down and eat it right then,
4:21
because there's nothing worse than a,
4:23
a salad with soggy, slick lettuce.
4:30
You can see how pretty this is.
4:32
You could actually layer it together,
4:35
but I'm gonna drizzle this dressing over
4:39
when it's time to eat.
4:41
And then I'm going to put my avocado
4:43
right there in the center.
4:45
Cause you know, some people don't like avocado.
4:49
Some people don't like cilantro.
4:52
Go out to eat, go get you something else.
4:56
Cause this is what we're having for supper tonight.
5:00
Love and best dishes.
