Grilled Corn and Black Bean Salad With Basil-Lime Vinaigrette image

A delicious summer salad! I use a bit less of the cumin for my family's taste. I have used the frozen corn with good results as well. The flavors mix SO well together, make sure you give them a chance to marry. Prep time does not include the chilling time. Adapted from Food Network, the Giada Show. Hope you enjoy!

I'm not a big fan of grilled corn, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is really good and the black beans add a nice protein boost.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover grilled corn. It's also a great make-ahead salad, so it's perfect for busy weeknights.

This salad was a hit at my last potluck! The flavors are so fresh and summery, and the dressing is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. I'll definitely be making this again.
