1. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the Meatless Farm Meat Free Mince and cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking it up as it browns. Leave to cool slightly.
2. Meanwhile, add the diced red pepper, cucumber, sweetcorn, black beans and black-eyed beans to a large serving bowl.
3. Add the cooked mince, followed by the diced avocado and chopped coriander.
4. In a jar or small bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, red wine vinegar, garlic powder, chilli flakes and maple syrup and season with salt and pepper. Shake or whisk until combined.
5. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until everything is evenly coated. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, spoon into tacos or wraps, or enjoy as a fresh summer salad.
Top tip: Chill for 20–30 minutes before serving to let the flavours develop. If making ahead, stir the avocado through just before serving to keep it fresh.
