This quick and easy vegan Mexican Black Bean Salad is filling and nutritious, and packs a punch thanks to a lime, cumin and smoked paprika dressing.

If you follow me on Instagram, this salad may look vaguely familiar. The reason being it is one of my favourites and makes regular appearances at lunch time.

This Mexican Black Bean Salad ticks all the boxes for me. It is quick and easy to prepare; filled with lots of healthy crunchy vegetables; filling, thanks to the black beans; colourful and a has a wonderful smokey citrus kick.

I’ve used watercress here, mainly because it is my favourite salad green. If you’re unfamiliar with watercress, it is packed with lots of vitamins and minerals, and makes a wonderful change to the ubiquitous rocket (otherwise known arugula to my US readers). If you can’t get your hands on watercress where you are – hint, farmers markets are a good source – feel free to use whatever greens you prefer.

It would make a greater starter for a Mexican themed dinner party, with these sweet potato tacos, featuring my take on traditional street corn.

And if you really want to take things up a notch, try serving it with these beautiful Stuffed Squash Blossoms!
