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.
