Sometimes you find a recipe you love. You want to shout from the roof top how much you love it. You want everyone else to love it to, because that justifies how much you love it. Usually for me that kind of love requires chocolate. (Did you see the Texas sheet cake? I'm fairly certain I ate the entire thing in less than a week...) However, this recipe is chocolate free. WHAT?
Have you ever been to Chipotle? Of course you have - and this salad is similar to the filling you may find inside one of their football sized burritos. This is so good the hubster and I usually double the recipe, as it makes perfect leftovers and an excellent lunch.
All of the ingredients are pretty easy to find! You'll need 2 cups cooked white rice (brown rice works too, but the white is prettier), 2 cans of rinsed black beans, 1 and a half c. thawed frozen corn, 1 and a half c. quartered cherry tomatoes, 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese, 4 scallions chopped thinly, 1/4 c. cilantro, the juice of two limes, and 1/4 c. olive oil.
The possibilities are endless. Add anything you'd like really! The hubster realllly likes hot foods, so this last time we added 1 serrano pepper - chopped very small. It was delicious, yet totally optional.
Mix it together. All of it.
That's it! Gah, I love salads. Eat for lunch. Eat it for dinner. Put it in a tortilla and eat it as a burrito. Top it with avocado. Eat it with tortilla chips. SO MANY OPTIONS!
