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.

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.
