The staples of this recipe are grilled corn, black beans, cilantro, and lime. Beyond those ingredients, you can add any vegetables–grilled or raw–of your choice. The salad keeps well for a couple of days in the refrigerator. It is great on its own, but is also great as a salsa or in a pita or tortilla.
Corn and Black Bean Salad
Combine the following in a large bowl:
2-3 ears of corn, shucked and grilled
1 can of black beans, rinsed
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup chopped basil
Other vegetables of your choice: I chose to include chopped grilled green pepper, chopped cucumber, and shredded red cabbage. Carrots are also good.
dressing:
5 tbs olive oil
rind of one lime
juice of one lime
2 tbs lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon cumin.
Toss dressing with salad.
Enjoy!
