Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 3 cups Romaine lettuce chopped
- 1 15 oz can BUSH’S® Black Beans rinsed and drained
- 1 15 oz can whole kernel sweet corn rinsed and drained
- 3 mini sweet red and orange peppers chopped
- 0.5 medium red onion chopped
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup salsa
- 0.75 teaspoon ground cumin
- pinch salt and pepper
Instructions
Instructions
- Start by rinsing the black beans and corn real good. Drain ’em well so the salad won’t get watery.
- Chop up your Romaine lettuce, peppers, and red onion in bite-sized pieces so every forkful is easy and fresh.
- Pop the black beans and corn in the pressure cooker with just a little water or broth for about 10 minutes. You want that tender pull but not mushy.
- Once done, do a quick slow release on the valve so the cooker calms down safely.
- Pour those cooked beans and corn into a large bowl with your chopped lettuce, peppers, and onion. Stir ’em up a bit.
- In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, salsa, and ground cumin until it’s blended smooth and creamy.
- Drizzle that dressing over the salad and toss gently so every piece gets coated but stays crisp.
- You can serve right away or chill it in the fridge for 15-20 minutes if you wanna let flavors really mingle and settle.
Notes
Don’t skip rinsing canned beans and corn to avoid soggy salad. You can serve immediately or chill for 15-20 minutes to blend flavors better. Store leftovers in airtight container and keep dressing separate to maintain crispness.
