Black Bean Corn Salad

This is one of my favorite summer salads!! Most of you have had it either at my house or at yours, as its my go to BBQ contribution.  Also, it can be made with basic pantry items:
  • 1 Can Black Beans - rinsed
  • 1 Cup Frozen Corn, defrosted and drained OR 1 Cup of Trader Joes Roasted Corn
  • 1/4 Cup chopped red onion, white onion or diced green onion
  • Lime or Lemon Juice
  • Diced Jalapeno or 1/4 Teaspoon of red pepper flakes
  • Salt/Pepper
  • Chopped Parsley
  • Drizzle of olive oil
  • Pinch of Cumin
  • Additional goodies to add:
    • Diced tomato is optional...If you add it, it becomes a bit watery and more of a Salsa vs. a Salad, but its still yummie
    • Diced Green/Red Bell pepper
    • Fresh Diced Avocado
Mix all together and enjoy as a salad or a topping for Tacos, Burgers, Soups, Eggs, Chili, Baked Potato, Fish, or chicken (Endless)
Its best if it sits for a few hours in the fridge.
