Black Bean and Corn Salad
This black bean salad with corn is great on its own, or with some fresh greens, or wrapped in a sprouted grain tortilla. It uses Mexican flavors for a spicy kick, and fresh vegetables for a light and refreshing salad. It also makes a great taco filling.
Servings: 4 salads
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup black beans, cooked or canned
- 1 cup corn
- 1 lime, (or 2), zested and juiced
- 1/2 Tbsp olive oil, optional
- 1-2 tsp chili powder
- pinch sea salt
- 1 tomato, diced, or 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1 bell pepper, any color, chopped
- 2 green onion, or a handful of chives, chopped
- 2-4 Tbsp fresh cilantro, or parsley, minced
Instructions
- Toss all of the ingredients together. This tastes better if you have a chance to prep it in advance, so the flavors have time to merge.
- Keep leftovers in the fridge in an air-tight container.
Notes
Pair this salad with guacamole and mango salsa, and pop in a tortilla, for delicious tacos. Or make it a taco bowl with cooked quinoa.
