It's time for a remake! Since I've started blogging back in January 2007, I've tried to feature a different recipe every time I post. With so many recipes out there I'd love to try, it wasn't hard to make a new dish everyday. However, I do have some standby recipes I enjoy making often. One such recipe is this Black Bean & Corn Salad. I recently made this for a Latin inspired dinner for family that's currently visiting from out of town. As always, it never fails and is a great side dish especially with Mexican and Latin inspired recipes...
I originally featured this recipe on May 27, 2007, where this salad was enjoyed during a picnic party. Since then, this recipe has found its place on many menus I've prepared. It's a great combination of fresh vegetables, canned black beans and a tasty vinaigrette with a slight kick of heat. Aside from being a salad, you could even pass this off as a salsa if everything is diced up finely and slightly mashed. I also prefer making this in advance so the salad has a chance to absorb the vinaigrette flavors. However you prefer to enjoy it, it's a refreshing side dish that's a favorite at our house. Feel free to adjust the amounts of each to your tastes.
