Grilled Corn and Black Bean Salad
Crisp and smokey grilled corn combined with smooth savory Black Beans and flavored to the hilt with Onions, Peppers, Cumin, Chili Powder and so much more. THIS is the penultimate summer salad side dish!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 3 Ears grilled charred Corn any leftover Corn will do. But you'll miss the smokiness
- 1 15 oz can Black Beans Rinsed and Drained
- 1/3 Cup Red Onion finely Chopped
- 1/3 Cup Red Bell Pepper Diced
- 12 or more Black Olives sliced in half. Whatever you have on hand
- 1/4-1/3 Cup Zesty Italian Salad Dressing.
- 1 Tsp Chili Powder
- 1/2 Tsp Cumin Powder
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1/4 Cup minced Cilantro optional for Dan. Mandatory for me.
Instructions
- Slice the Corn from the Cob and place into a medium sized bowl. Rinse and drain the Black Beans then add them to the Corn. Stir in the Red Onion, Red Bell Pepper and the Black Olives.
- Stir in the Chili Powder and Cumin. Add the Zest Italian Salad Dressing. Adjust for Salt and Pepper. Now decide, to " Cilantro or not to Cilantro, that is the question." I'll leave it up to you friends. But as for me....the Cilantro goes in. Score!
- I served this wonderful Salad with marinated grilled Shrimp and strangely enough......potatoes and onions in a foil packet cooked on the grill. Sigh.............................................such a happy thing.
- Wherever your Journey leads you this day, my wish it that we all stop and honor our country on this Independence Day, the 4th of July 2018!
