SOUTHWESTERN BLACK BEAN AND HOMINY SALAD



Southwestern Black Bean and Hominy Salad image

Like the rest of the northeast, it's been a hot summer here in Eastern Maine; however, most of us here don't have airconditioning, so I'm on the lookout for interesting whole-meal salads! Found this on epicurious. If you haven't tried hominy, it's about time: it's corn treated with cooking lye, so that it comes out with a texture and flavor somewhere between corn and garbanzo beans. Recipe calls for yellow hominy, but all we can find here is white; doesn't make any difference in the taste, from what I can tell. Give it a little time in the refrigerator before serving so it's nice and cold!

Provided by landlocked 2

Categories     Beans

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup whole grain barley (see note)
1 1/2 cups cooked black beans or 1 (15 ounce) can low sodium black beans, rinsed and drained
1 1/2 cups frozen corn
1 1/2 cups plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped (about 3 large)

2 tablespoons raw smooth cashew butter
2 tablespoons raisins
1 teaspoon garlic powder (or use fresh for more bite)
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook barley in 2 cups of water for about 45 minutes or until tender.
  • When barley is finished cooking, drain and return to cooking pot. Mix in frozen corn. The heat from the barley will thaw the corn.

  • Blend the dressing ingredients in a high-powered blender and pour desired amount over salad.
  • Serve at room temperature over a bed of romaine lettuce with lime slices on the side.
