Black Bean SaladBlack Bean Salad without the Halloumi

What you need

  • Black beans, a tin
  • Corn - fresh corn is great if it's in season. If not, use a tin
  • Avocado
  • Halloumi
  • Cherry tomatoes - halved - see below for how to grow your own!
  • Red pepper, chopped (or orange, yellow)
  • Onion, chopped - red or brown, your choice
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Lime, juice of half a lime
  • Cilantro, fresh chopped
  • Jalapeño, chopped - leave out if you're not a hot spice person!
  • Cumin, 1/2 teaspoon
  • Salt to taste

What to do

Rinse and drain the black beans.

Mix the beans, corn, tomatoes, pepper, onion, cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, jalapeño, cumin and a dash of salt in a large bowl.

Stir well.

Slice the halloumi and sear it gently in a skillet till lightly brown. Keep tossing it!

Add the avocado and the halloumi to the salad bowl. We stir the avocado gently in and lay the halloumi on the top.

We will add a photo next time we make this salad!

Serve and enjoy!

You could serve the salad with a fresh green salad.

Another option is to serve with nachos or use it as a taco filling.

Tip - Grow your own cherry tomato plants

Mogsy found this tip on social media.

Simply cut a few cherry tomatoes in half and plant them seed side up in a tub of earth. Press about half an inch down. Water regularly.

We ended up with 3 really good tomato plants that grew huge and have given us really sweet, tasty tomatoes for the past few months. They are still producing fruit and taste way better than the supermarket cherry tomatoes - give it a go!!


We hope you enjoyed our recipe for black bean salad!
