Spiced Black Bean and Kale Salad with Chipotle Lime Dressing
Hearty, spicy, bursting with a flavour bomb of beans, topped on hearty kale, and then drizzled with a little Chipotle Lime Dressing this is my new favourite salad. It’s like a fiesta in your mouth.
Servings: 4 as a side
Ingredients
For the black beans:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ an onion , chopped
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- 1 19 oz can black beans (about 2 cups), drained and rinsed
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce , minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon agave
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the salad:
- ½ a bunch of kale (about 6 cups), shredded
- 1 recipe Chipotle Lime Dressing (I used about ⅓ of the recipe)
Instructions
- To prepare the beans, heat the olive oil in a large frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions and garlic for about 5 minutes until the soften and begin to brown. Add in the black beans and all of the remaining ingredients. Stir well to combine and cook until heated through. Another 3-5 minutes.
- To assemble the salad, put the shredded kale in a large bowl and top with the prepared black beans. Drizzle on the dressing to taste. The black beans are very flavourful, so you might not need too much. Bon Appetegan!
