This Black Bean & Corn Salad made with fresh Jersey corn, tomatoes, lime juice and cilantro makes the perfect side salad for your picnic.
Today is National Picnic Day and what goes better at a picnic than a salad and this Black Bean & Corn Salad is fabulous! I'm still trying to use up those 12 cans of black beans I purchased and was looking to make a new salad.
Ingredients Needed
For this recipe you'll need the following ingredients:
- black beans
- corn kernels
- Roma tomato
- scallions
- garlic
- lime juice
- fresh cilantro
- white vinegar
- Canola oil
- Kosher salt
- black pepper
If it is NJ corn season, I use fresh cooked corn on the cob; however, during off season, using defrosted frozen corn works just as well.
How do you make Black Bean and Corn Salad?
Combine all of the ingredients together in a bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve. This Black Bean and Corn Salad was deliciously light and was a big hit. Even my little one loved it!
And for those of you eyeing up my new Sangria pitcher in the background, I purchased it at Chef Central and it's amazing!
Not only is it pretty, it also has a "pinched" spout so that the fruit doesn't come toppling out when you try to pour it into the glass. ~Enjoy!
