How to Make Santa Fe Corn Black Bean Salad

  1. Combine the corn, black beans, red onion, bell pepper, cilantro, and jalapeño in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour the dressing over the corn and black bean mixture and toss gently to combine.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is crucial for best taste!
  5. Before serving, taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more lime juice for extra zing or chili powder for more heat.
  6. Serve chilled in a lettuce-lined bowl (optional) and garnish with extra cilantro and a dollop of Greek yogurt or avocado crema (optional).
