Southwestern Black Bean & Hominy Salad

1 15 oz can black beans, rinsed, drained well
1 15 oz can golden hominy, rinsed, drained well
1 avocado, peeled, pitted, diced
1 cup diced yellow bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 Tbs minced seeded jalapeno chili
1/2 cup (or more) salsa verde

1) Combine first 7 ingredients in large bowl.
2) Add 1/2 cup salsa and toss to coat. Add more salsa if salad is dry.
3) Season salad with salt and pepper.

Review:  I served this over baby spinach and it made two good lunch portions.  I packaged them up and will get to eat them tomorrow.  I'll post in a comment how it tasted.

  1. Super yum. I love hominy and this was a different twist to hominy, but a great new recipe. There was a bit of hotness due to the jalapeno, but nothing that was overwhelming. Yum.

  2. Here's another recipe with black beans that I thought sounded good.

  3. Mike hated this, telling me it was too spicy for lunch and tasted bland. Apparently it "didn't have a good base." Maybe the cornmeal pie will have a better chance.
