Recipe: Black Bean and Corn Salad
This is a tasty salad and one of my fall favorites. It's so simple and quick to make - you simply cannot fail at this one!
Here's what you will need:
1 can of organic whole kernel corn
1 can of organic black beans
1 medium organic tomato (heirlooms are great in this recipe)
1 bunch of organic cilantro
1 organic lime
1 small organic red onion (a vidalia will work well too)
some extra-virgin olive oil (evoo)
Drain the corn and the beans and add them to a large mixing bowl. Cut the tomato into a small dice - you can peel and seed it if you like - I don't. Cut the onion into a small dice. Add the tomato and onion to the bowl with the corn and beans. Drizzle the evoo on the veggies and beans just enough to glisten them - you don't want them swimming in the oil - this is part of the dressing. Then add the juice of the lime and toss well. Finally, add to the mix about a cup of cilantro leaves (cilantro can often be a bit sandy or dirty, so make sure you wash it well - you can substitute flat leaf parsley, but it just doesn't have the same taste and does change the flavor of the salad). Season with a tiny bit of salt and ground pepper if you like - not really necessary. Garnish with a nice sprig of cilantro to serve. This serves about 4 people. This is so easy and quick to put together! Enjoy!
