GRILLED CORN AND BLACK BEAN SALAD WITH CILANTRO VINAIGRETTE
I love veggie salads. They're great on their own or mixed into leafy green salads. This grilled corn salad pops with flavor and is rounded out by heartiness from black beans and creaminess from queso fresco cheese.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. On the other side of the stove place a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the corn to the boiling water and cook until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the water and allow drain on a plate covered with paper towels.
- Once the grill is hot, brush the grill pan with oil and place the bell pepper and jalapeño on the pan. Grill the bell peppers until grill marks form, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Grill the jalapeño until marked on all sides, about 3 minutes.
- Brush the grill pan again with oil and place the dry ears of corn on the pan. Cook, turning the corn occasionally, until the kernels start to blacken on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to cool.
- When cool enough to handle, slice the kernels from the cobs and place in a large bowl. Chop the bell pepper and add it to the bowl. Remove the stem end and seeds from the grilled jalapeño, then finely chop it and add to the corn mixture. Add the black beans, onion and cilantro.
- For the vinaigrette: Combine the lime zest, lime juice, tomato, red onion, garlic, adobo sauce, cumin, coriander, salt and chili powder in a blender. Blend on high speed until almost smooth. Lower the speed to medium-low; with the motor running slowly drizzle in the oil. Turn off the blender, scrape the sides if needed and add the cilantro. Pulse a few times until the cilantro looks like small specks of green.
- Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables in the bowl and toss. Taste and adjust any seasoning, adding more salt as needed. Sprinkle the salad with queso fresco just before serving.

Steps:
- For the salad: Preheat a grill on high for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium high and grill the corn, with the cover closed and turning occasionally, until some kernels are black, about 12 minutes. Remove and allow the corn to cool slightly.
- Using a sharp knife, cut off the kernels into a very large, deep serving bowl. (Hold the narrow end of the cob, point the other end into the bowl and cut downward, so that flying kernels are trapped by the bowl itself.) Add the black beans, chickpeas, cilantro, green and red bell peppers, onions, chile peppers, salt and pepper to taste to the bowl and toss.
- For the dressing: Whisk together the lime juice, sugar, salt, vinegar, cumin, chili powder, garlic and olive oil in a small bowl. Season to taste with hot sauce.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to thoroughly coat. Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes, toss again and serve. The salad can be made a day in advance, covered and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Tips:
- For a smokier flavor, grill the corn directly over the flame.
- If you don't have a grill, you can roast the corn in a preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes.
- To make the salad ahead of time, grill or roast the corn and let it cool completely. Then, combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
- Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature.
Conclusion:
This Black Bean, Jicama, and Grilled Corn Salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is packed with fresh vegetables, grilled corn, and black beans, and it is tossed in a light and flavorful dressing. The salad is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making it a great option for busy weeknights.
