  • 1 (2 1/4 ounce) can sliced ripe olives, drained
  • 2 medium tomatoes, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
  • 4 medium green onions, chopped (1/4 cup)
  • 1/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  2. Mix lime juice, cumin and pepper; toss with bean mixture.

Notes

If you don't have any cumin on hand, use chili powder.

Shredded cheese is a convenience food that is widely available and extremely handy to keep in the refrigerator.

For a tasty Chicken Taco Salad, omit 1 can of the black beans and add 1 1/2 cups of chopped cooked chicken or turkey with the beans in step 1.
