Black Bean and Corn Salad

Black Bean and Corn Salad

This simple side is a great dish to bring to picnics, add on top of salads, or put in a boring wrap to easily add some flavor and veggies! Perfect for warm days because it is very cold and refreshing and will brighten up your day!

Ingredients:

  • 1 bag of frozen corn
  • 1 pepper (or 2 halves of different colored peppers for fun)
  • 1/2 cup of minced onion (I prefer yellow, but red works too!)
  • 1 can of black beans
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1-3 tablespoons of Taytsa to taste
  • 1 tablespoon of Garlic Expressions Salad dressing
  •  salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

First gather all ingredients, taking the corn out of the freezer. Chop the peppers, onion, and garlic if using fresh garlic. Add to a large bowl with the frozen corn (do not cook, but you may want to massage the bag to break up clumps), and the can of black beans. Depending on how saucy you would like the salad, you can drain the black beans or not, I tend to not, but it is all based on preference. 

Next, add the minced garlic, Taytsa, salad dressing, salt, and pepper. Stir it all until combined. Let it sit at least 15 minutes before serving or store in the refrigerator for up to a few days. 

Lastly, enjoy! You can eat it straight, with chips like a salsa, or use it as a topping in wraps or sandwiches.
