Earlier this week I did a post outlining my entire first week’s menu on the Weight Watchers Plan. On that menu I mentioned my Weight Watchers 0 SmartPoint (on the Blue and Purple Plans) Black Bean & Corn Salad & Sweet Lime Dressing. I know you are going to devour this amazingly delicious recipe that is perfect as a light lunch, side dish, snack or add some chicken breast or shrimp for the perfect 0 SmartPoint dinner on the Blue and Purple Plans. If you are on the Green plan, this is 7 SmartPoints/serving (without the chicken and shrimp).
Another amazing way to serve this recipe is in a 1 Point Ole Extreme Wellness High Fiber Low Carb Tortilla* and use it as a salsa too. Yum!

This is a new way to serve this WW Black Bean Corn Salad recipe. I simply make a bag or two of cauliflower rice, dump it into a bowl to cool and add in the chilled Black Bean Corn Salad with Sweet Lime Dressing and put it back into the refrigerator to cool and allow the flavors to blend together.
On the new WW Personal Points Plan, if you chose both Beans and Corn as your Zero Points Foods, each serving is 0 Points; if you chose only Beans as a Zero Point Food, each serving is 1 Point; if you chose only corn as a Zero Point Food, each serving is 2 Points and if you did NOT chose Beans or Corn as a Zero Point Food, each serving is 3 Points. Using Cauliflower Rice in this rice is 0 PP.
Per serving, it is 0 SmartPoints on the Blue and Purple Plans and 7 SmartPoints on the Green Plan. Yum!

Here’s another fantastic recipe using the Black Bean & Corn recipe. Simply omit the cucumber in the recipe and you don’t need to make the the Sweet Lime Dressing.
Cut 6 Bell Peppers in half and seed them. This will make 6 Servings at 2 Stuffed Pepper Halves per serving. You can use green, orange, yellow or red peppers. Add the Black Bean & Corn mixture into the peppers along with cooked cauliflower rice or 1 cup of cooked quinoa. When the peppers are stuffed, you can add up to 1/8 cup of Kraft Fat Free Cheddar or Mozzarella Shredded Cheese onto the top of each pepper half and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. This makes 6 Servings (2 Pepper halves per serving) at 0 SmartPoints on the Blue and Purple Plans if using cauliflower rice.
If you use 1 cup of cooked quinoa, it will be 2 SmartPoints on the Blue Plan. On the Purple Plan, it’s still 0 SmartPoints! On the Green Plan, it is still only 7 SmartPoints for 2 Stuffed Pepper halves using cauliflower rice. If you choose to use 1 Cup of Cooked Quinoa (divided among the pepper halves), it will be 9 SmartPoints for 2 Pepper Halves.
On the new WW Personal Points Plan:
- if you chose Beans, Quinoa and Corn as your Zero Points Foods, each serving is 0 Points.
- if you chose only Beans as a Zero Point Food, each serving is 2 PP.
- if you chose both Beans + Corn as Zero Point Foods, each serving is 1 PP;
- if you chose both Beans + Quinoa as Zero Point Foods, each serving is 1 PP.
- if you chose Quinoa + Corn as Zero Point Foods, each serving is 2 PP.
- if you chose only Quinoa as a Zero Point Food, each serving is 3 PP.
- if you did NOT chose Beans, Quinoa or Corn as Zero Point Foods, each serving is 4 PP.
