Lupin Free Mediterranean Tomato, Olive & Black Bean Corn Salad
Bright, punchy, and loaded with color, this Mediterranean-inspired salad is the kind of dish that looks like you spent way more effort than you actually did. Juicy halved cherry tomatoes, hearty black beans, sweet corn, and briny Kalamata olives come together in one big bowl, then get tossed in a zesty lemon-oregano dressing with a warm hint of cumin and turmeric. Every ingredient here is naturally free from lupin — no flour blends, no legume-based fillers, no sneaky additives to second-guess at the store. The dressing is whisked together from scratch with extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and a handful of dried spices, so you stay in full control of what goes in. A short 10-minute rest before the final toss lets the tomatoes release their juices and lets the flavors really bloom into something special. Finish it with crumbled feta and torn fresh mint if you want to lean into those Mediterranean vibes even harder. It works equally well as a light lunch, a cookout side, or a meal-prep staple that holds up beautifully in the fridge.
