BLACK BEAN, CORN, AND TOMATO SALAD WITH FETA CHEESE
I tasted many salads with similar ingredients, but all seemed very bland, so I developed this myself. It is dressed with a lime vinaigrette and has lots of crunch and flavor with a little jalapeno pop. It's wonderful to make in summer with fresh ingredients from the garden or farmer's market. This is great with BBQ's or for potlucks. My husband likes it best with fish tacos.

BLACK BEAN, CORN, AND TOMATO SALAD
This is easy, delicious, colorful, delicious, uses currently-in-season fresh corn and tomatoes, and, oh yes, is really good. I made a double batch of this yesterday for two of us, and we just polished off the rest of it this evening. BTW, Ordinary tomato is fine instead of plum tomato (and we happen to use more of it); I highly recommend flat-leaf parsley, if you can find it, because the curly stuff is not nearly as flavorful; You can use radicchio or any other kind of lettuce (if you choose to use any at all); The salad tastes even better the second day!; Flavor is better when served closer to room temp as opposed to ice cold.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe ingredients: This will ensure that your salad is flavorful and delicious. Look for ripe tomatoes, sweet corn, and tender black beans.
- Chop your vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly and make your salad more visually appealing.
- Don't overcook the corn: Corn should be cooked just until it is tender, but still has a slight crunch to it. Overcooked corn will be mushy and bland.
- Use a light hand with the dressing: You don't want to overpower the flavors of the vegetables. A simple vinaigrette or olive oil and vinegar dressing is a good choice.
- Add some fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or basil can add a nice pop of flavor to your salad.
Conclusion:
This black bean, corn, and tomato salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful salad, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
