Corn & Black Bean Salad
Corn and black bean salad is an healthy, nutrition packed salad that's great as a tasty side dish or easy to make summer salad recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 15oz can of black beans, drained & rinsed
- 2 cup corn (about 2-3 cobs of corn)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cubed avocado
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 2 limes, zested and juiced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- salt to taste (start with 1 tsp)
Instructions
- To start, you want to cut the corn from the cob. In a pan on medium to low heat add the corn kernels. What you're doing is heating the corn slightly to release those sugars and flavors in the kernels. Keep them moving this should take only 5 minutes maximum. Remember, you're not trying to cook the corn just give it a nice toasting. You do want to retain that fresh crunch.
- While the corn is cooling off, drain and rinse the can of black beans. In a large salad bowl, add black beans into the bowl..
- Now, half the cherry tomatoes and toss in with the black beans. Chop cilantro, dice avocado then place into the bowl as well.
- Next, add in the corn and mix everything together. Now, you want to add in the seasonings for the salad. Cumin, paprika then zest and juice limes into the salad.
- Lastly, you want to taste for salt. However, I provided a starting point of 1 teaspoon.
