BLACK BEAN AND CORN SALAD - SPICY MEXICAN SALAD/SIDE DISH



Black Bean and Corn Salad - Spicy Mexican Salad/Side Dish image

A spicy, crisp, fresh vegetable salad. This salad should be made several hours before it is served....to marinate the vegetables and blend the flavors. I personally don't cook the corn I cut from the cobb, just a personal preference. If corn isn't in season a good quality frozen corn is a perfect substitution - I don't even defrost it! The produce you use should be top quality for a superior result.

Yield Serves 6, .5 cup each

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 can corn
1 can black beans
1 can diced tomatoes
.5 bunch of cilantro
1 juice of lime
.5 jalopeno pepper
.5 red pepper
.25 red onion
.25 cup red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Drain and rinse black beans, drain tomatoes and chop to smaller chunks, drain corn, chop the jalopeno, red pepper and red onion and add all ingredients to a medium bowl and mix.

  • Feel free to add other ingredients to your salad, such as diced avocado, chopped red onion, or crumbled queso fresco.
  • This salad is best served fresh, but it can also be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
