Directions

Step 1

Rinse and drain the black beans and chickpeas in a colander. Set aside to drain completely.

In a pot of boiling water, blanch the edamame for about 3-4 minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.

Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the peppers.

Step 5

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the mixing bowl.

Step 6

Chop the cilantro and finely dice the jalapeño pepper, making sure to remove the seeds if you prefer less heat. Add both to the mixing bowl.

Step 7

Cube the avocados and gently mix into the bowl with the other vegetables, being careful not to mash them.

Step 8

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to form the dressing.

Add the drained black beans, chickpeas, corn, and blanched edamame to the mixing bowl with the vegetables.

Pour the dressing over the vegetables and gently toss everything until well-coated with the dressing.
