Yield Makes 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup long grain brown rice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 Cubanelle chile or Italian frying pepper, trimmed and cut in 1/3-inch dice
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, smashed, peeled and minced
2 cups freshly cut white corn kernels (from 2 ears) or 1 box (10 ounces) frozen corn, thawed
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed well and drained
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, just until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain and rinse well with cold water until cool. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in the same saucepan over medium heat until hot. Add the chile, onion and garlic and stir until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add the corn and salt and cook, stirring, just until heated through, about 1 minute. Transfer the vegetables to the bowl with the rice and toss to mix.
  • Add the beans, the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the vinegar and toss well. Season with plenty of pepper and toss again.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beans: Black beans are the traditional choice for this salad, but you can also use other types of beans, such as kidney beans or pinto beans. If you're using dried beans, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking.
  • Cook the beans properly: For best results, cook the beans in a flavorful liquid, such as chicken broth or vegetable broth. You can also add some spices, such as cumin, garlic, and onion, to the cooking liquid.
  • Use fresh vegetables: The vegetables in this salad should be fresh and crisp. You can use any type of vegetables you like, but some common choices include tomatoes, cucumbers, corn, and bell peppers.
  • Make a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what brings all the flavors of this salad together. You can use a simple vinaigrette, or you can get creative and make a more complex dressing. Some popular ingredients for black bean and rice salad dressing include olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, cilantro, and cumin.
  • Let the salad chill: This salad is best served chilled. After you've assembled the salad, cover it and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Caribbean-style black bean and rice salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or potluck. It's also a great way to use up leftover rice and beans. With its colorful vegetables and flavorful dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
