Description

This black bean and corn salad comes together in no time, no chopping required! It’s a quick way to get fresh food on the table.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 15-ounce can black beans*
  • 15-ounce can corn (or 1 1/2 cups fresh corn cut from the cob, raw or boiled)
  • 1 cup fresh pico de gallo, aka fresh salsa (purchased, or 1/2 recipe Pico de Gallo)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil 
  • Zest of 1/2 lime (optional)
  • 1 large handful fresh cilantro, chopped or torn (optional)

Instructions

  1. Drain and rinse the black beans. Drain the corn. In a bowl, mix them with the pico de gallo, salt, and olive oil.
  2. If desired, add torn cilantro. Serve immediately with a slotted spoon as a side salad, in a rice bowl, in tacos, or as a dip with tortilla chips.

Notes

*For a party size, double the ingredients. 

**You’ll find this packaged in the refrigerated section at your local grocery: it may be labeled pico de gallo or fresh salsa. If you can’t find it, make homemade Pico de Gallo.
