- ½ cup fresh cilantro - rinsed, patted dry, and rough chopped
- 2 teaspoons cumin seeds - toasted in a dry pan
Salad Dressing
- 2 limes - juiced (about 1/4 cup)
- ¼ cup olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Salad
- Grill corn. Unwrap to cool. Remove from the cob, and place in a large salad bowl.
- Add black beans, chopped bell pepper, scallions, green chile, cilantro, and cumin seeds. Stir well to combine ingredients
Dressing
- Whisk dressing ingredients together. Pour over salad. Stir gently to combine.
Notes
Avocado is a great addition, but keep in mind, the salad won't keep once you add avocado.
I dress salads lightly. Adjust amounts if you prefer a more heavily dressed salad.
Use frozen or canned corn if you don't have time to grill it. You'll lose the additional flavor of the grilled corn, but it will still be a great salad!
