Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

Veggies

  • large handful cabbage, sliced super thin
  • 1 ear fresh, raw corn
  • a few slices of red onion

Protein

  • 6 oz kidney, pinto, or black beans

Fat

  • 1/2 oz Vegenaise (or your favorite mayo)

Extras

  • water
  • salsa
  • cilantro
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • salt & pepper
  • 1/2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 lime juiced

Instructions
 

  • First make the cole slaw: Combine the cabbage, your desired amount of salt, vinegar and mayo together. Mix well and taste for seasoning.
  • Make the beans: Combine the beans, your desired amount of salt, and smoked paprika and heat in a small pot. I add a little bit of water so it doesn't start to stick (and it makes a delicious sauce too). Taste for seasoning (you may want to add more paprika) and set aside.
  • Cut the corn: Fresh corn is amazing in the summer, especially raw! I lay the cob down on a cutting board, and use a knife to cut down on the side of the corn to release the kernels. Then I rotate the corn, placing the cut flat side on the cutting board, and cut off the kernels on the new side that’s exposed. Continue to cut and rotate until all the kernels are off. I usually cut on 4 sides, and the cob eventually looks like a rectangle.
  • Assemble The Love Bowl: add in the cole slaw, corn, beans, and serve with cilantro and extra salsa on the side. I love finishing it with a squeeze of lime juice all over the top, some red onion, plus a good dose of black pepper. YUM!
