BLACK BEAN AND CORN SALAD WITH HOMEMADE TORTILLA CHIPS
This recipe is MUCH simpler than it sounds! It's very tasty and light. Originally, I came across this recipe on the WCHS NEWS web site, on which they said it was from a book by Bridgett Swinney (Copyright 1993 by Fall Rivers Press) called Eating Expectantly: The Essential Eating Guide and Cookbook For Pregnancy. It also doubles as a low-fat and generally healthy-eating recipe. I made some adjustments to the recipe myself, but I will post the original recipe and add my own personal suggestions here. I added 1/3 c. minced bell pepper, and 1/2 small jalapeño pepper, minced. I'd also recommend reducing the cooking time for the tortillas to 8 minutes per side, mine over-baked at 20 minutes. Also, I wouldn't personally recommend using the yogurt sauce as a dip for the tortillas, it's too spicy because of the cumin. It is VERY good as a dressing on the salad, though. I also served each with 4 eighths tomato instead of 2 quarters. The jalapeño won't add much (if any) heat, but it seems to eliminate or at least reduce the gastric distress suffered during the digestion of beans. Might as well stop a problem before it starts :)

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the corn and black beans, the better the salad will taste. If you can, use corn on the cob and fresh black beans from your garden or local farmer's market.
- Choose the right type of corn: You can use sweet corn or field corn for this salad. Sweet corn is more common, but field corn has a chewier texture that some people prefer.
- Don't overcook the corn: Corn should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooked corn will be mushy and flavorless.
- Use a variety of toppings: This salad is a great opportunity to use up leftover ingredients. Some good options include chopped tomatoes, onions, cilantro, or crumbled queso fresco.
- Make it a main course: This salad is hearty enough to be served as a main course. Add some grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a complete meal.
Conclusion:
Corn and black bean salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, give this salad a try.
