GARDEN FRESH BROCCOLI TOMATO AND BEAN SALAD!



Garden Fresh Broccoli Tomato and Bean Salad! image

This salad is filling and really simple and quick to make! The cumin style dressing combined with the black beans marry nicely and I decided at the last minute to add chili pepper flakes, which raised the bar! Came up with this because I had the salad dressing already made and the salad ingredients on hand fresh from my garden.

Categories     Other Salads

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon(s) grated lime peel (green portion)
6 tablespoon(s) fresh squeezed lime juice
4 teaspoon(s) ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt or more to your taste
3/4 cup(s) olive oil
SALAD INGREDIENTS
2 bunch(es) broccoli florets only
1 can(s) black beans
1 small purple onion
1/2 pound(s) sun gold tomatoes (or cherry)
1 teaspoon(s) coarse salt
1/8 teaspoon(s) fresh ground pepper
pinch chili pepper flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • Make salad dressing ahead if it's easier! I can keep this salad dressing for over a week, and just zap it in the microwave before using in the salad.
  • Put broccoli florets into a steamer basket and a large pot with about an inch of water. Steam til firm/tender.
  • While steaming broccoli, mince the onion and cut tomatoes in half. Sun Gold tomatoes are my very favorite from my garden, but cherry or other small tomatoes will work as a substitute.
  • Put dressing on the bottom and then add broccoli, beans, onion and tomatoes. Toss and add chili pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste. I use Jacobsen's salt/pepper combo and add the chili pepper flakes last. Serve at room temperature and can be chilled for later! (The wine is for the chef!)
