Corn and Black Bean Salad Recipe

We intended to make this corn and black bean salad recipe as a salsa, but when it came out of the test kitchen, staffers couldn’t refrain from shoveling it in their mouths with a spoon! Hence—it became one our latest favorite salad (main course or side). Of course, this does make for an amazing salsa, dip or side dish—but we’d be happy serving it with a side of grilled chicken and calling it a day. Add a side of veggies and you have a complete meal. Woohoo! The possibilities are endless—if you’re on the go, combine this salad in a lettuce wrap or a tortilla with protein and veggies and just like that, your meal is mobile. Just don’t forget the hot sauce.
