Black Bean and Tomato Salad

First make up the dressing. Combine these ingredients in a mason jar (or something like it) and shake vigourously until the sugar and salt are dissolved:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/8 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon demerara sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Mix the remaining ingredients in a bowl:

  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 medium tomatoes, cubed
  • 1 stalk of celery, diced
  • 1 green onion, chopped fine
  • 1 avocado, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro, minced

Give the dressing an extra few shakes, then pour it over the salad and mix well. Serves 2-4 as a main course, or 4-6 as a side.
