Corn and Black Bean Salad with Cumin Lime Dressing

Originally, I got this Corn and Black Bean Salad with Cumin Lime Dressing recipe from my dear friend Nan. I have made this for years.

Over the years I have changed it up just slightly from the original recipe. I like more corn than black beans but you might like it the other way around and I use less of the olive oil.

There is nothing like a crispy fresh salad on a warm summer’s day. This salad would pair perfectly with a sandwich or a bowl of soup. You could even double the salad and serve it up alone as a light lunch. The beans offer the protein and the peppers and the dressing add the crunchy zip to the dish.

Our family always tries to have a vegetarian meal at least once a week sometimes more. IF is a refreshing change and quite frankly most of the time they don’t even notice that there is no meat on their plates.

It’s not like I trick them, vegetarian meals don’t need to be bland they can have all the flavor your family is looking for, you should try it. It’s a wonderfully healthy alternative once in a while!!

It originally had 3/4 of a cup. It is a great salad for the summer months. Full of flavor with the great citrus cumin dressing. One that you will get rave reviews if you bring it to any BBQ or picnic. Try this salad out today!!!
