How to Make Mexican Black Bean And Roasted Corn Salad

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Remove the silks from 4 ears of corn, but leave the husks on.
  3. Lightly dampen the corn husks with water.
  4. Place the corn on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  5. While the corn roasts, prepare the remaining ingredients. In a large bowl, combine:
  6. 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  7. 1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped
  8. 1 bell pepper (any color), diced
  9. 1 cup chopped tomatoes
  10. 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (optional)
  11. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  12. 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  13. In a small bowl, whisk together:
  14. 1/4 cup lime juice
  15. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  16. 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  17. Salt and pepper to taste
  18. Once the corn is cool enough to handle, cut the kernels off the cob and add them to the large bowl with the other vegetables.
  19. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  20. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  21. For best flavor, let the salad sit for at least 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
