I can eat this salad all summer long!  I eat is as a salad, topping on tacos or a salsa with chips.

Ingredients

• 1 can, 14 ounces, black beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 cups frozen corn kernels
• 1 small red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
• 1 bunch of cilantro chopped
• 1/2 red onion, chopped
• 2 teaspoons hot sauce, just eyeball the amount (recommended: Tabasco)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil, eyeball it

 

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Let stand at least 15 minutes for corn to fully defrost and flavors to combine, then toss and serve. The corn will also place a quick-chill on this easy side-salad as it defrosts — no need to refrigerate!

 

Helpful Hints

Mix up the beans or add parsley instead of cilantro.  There are a lot of variations and they are all yummy!
