Corn and Black Bean Salad
"I wanted a side dish that had a little spicy heat to serve with my pan-fried tilapia. I came up with this Mexican-inspired salad." -Peggy Kistler, Salem, OR
How to Make It
Step 1
Combine corn, bell pepper, onions, cilantro, and beans in a medium bowl.
Step 2
Combine vinegar and remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Drizzle vinegar mixture over corn mixture; toss well. Cover and chill 30 minutes.

We make this numerous times a year. Sometimes I add cherry tomatoes from the garden, sometimes some diced avocado. It is also good with a sprinkle of feta on top.

I thought this was just ok, but rated 3 stars because it got eaten up at the potluck I took it to (maybe because no one else took veggies!). I probably won't make this one again.

Forgot the sugar yet it turned out sweet from the corn. Easy, quick and tasty side. Served with vegetarian taquitos.

I followed the recipe exactly except for using thawed frozen corn instead of fresh. I personally found the dressing to be too sweet, although my boyfriend enjoyed it.

Absolutely delicious and quick/easy. I used frozen corn (thawed for a few hours). It's an excellent side and delicious with chips.

LOVED this recipe. It was so easy, and soo delicious. I brought it to a cook-out, and it was a huge hit. A lot of the people ate it as a dip with chips. I preferred it as a salad side. It was great both ways. I will make this often.

This was a HUGE hit at a work gathering- nearly everyone asked for the recipe. It's light and fresh...and absolutely delicious. I added an orange pepper for extra color, but kept everything else the same. I HIGHLY recommend!

This was wonderful! My husband was skeptical because I wouldn't let him cook the corn first, but he agreed he was wrong. Made to go with Chicken & Summer Vegetable Tostadas (CL 2007 book) & sliced tomatoes/cucumbers. Will be using this a lot during the summer with fresh corn, but will keep in the rotation for winter with frozen corn.

So easy and delicious. The spices in the dressing are perfect together. I made it exactly as written and wouldn't change a thing. I can't wait for leftovers. A definite keeper and will make again. Served with Spicy Turkey Sloppy Joes.
