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.

Time 25m

Yield 3-4 cups, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 (15 ounce) cans rinsed & drained black beans
3 ears corn on the cob
3 -4 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 chopped red pepper
2 chopped and seeded tomatoes
3 minced jalapeno peppers, seeds removed
1 chopped purple onion, small
1 chopped peeled seeded avocado
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Cook corn in boiling water to cover 5 minutes; drain and cool. Cup corn from cob.
  • Whisk together lime juice and next 4 ingredients in a large bowl. Add corn, black beans, and remaining ingredients; toss to coat. Cover and chill 2 hours.

Tips:

  • For the freshest and most flavorful salad, use fresh corn kernels and black beans. If you're using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
  • To add a bit of smokiness to the salad, roast the corn kernels before adding them to the salad.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of jalapeno pepper in the salad to suit your taste. If you like it spicy, add more jalapeno.
  • If you don't have fresh cilantro on hand, you can use dried cilantro instead. Just be sure to use half the amount, as dried cilantro is more concentrated.
  • For a vegan version of the salad, omit the feta cheese or use a vegan alternative.

Conclusion:

This spicy corn and black bean salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that's perfect for summer gatherings. It's also a great way to use up leftover corn and black beans. With its fresh, flavorful ingredients and zesty dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
