BLACK BEAN AND CORN SALAD - SPICY MEXICAN SALAD/SIDE DISH
A spicy, crisp, fresh vegetable salad. This salad should be made several hours before it is served....to marinate the vegetables and blend the flavors. I personally don't cook the corn I cut from the cobb, just a personal preference. If corn isn't in season a good quality frozen corn is a perfect substitution - I don't even defrost it! The produce you use should be top quality for a superior result.

Steps:
- For the roasted corn and black beans:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large skillet, over medium-low heat, add 1/4 cup of oil and get the pan warm on the stovetop. Add the diced onion, garlic and corn kernels. Saute together until the corn feels cooked to the bite. Place in the oven until roasted (but not dried out) about 20 to 30 minutes.
- For the mango salsa:
- Combine the mango, onion, bell peppers, chives, lemon juice, honey, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a non-reactive bowl and chill.
- For the vinaigrette:
- Add, 1 at a time through the feed opening of a running blender, the vinegar, shallot, chives, salt and pepper. Leaving the blender running, add the oil in a slow thin stream and allow to emulsify. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- To make the tomato salsa:
- Combine the tomato, tomatillos, garlic, parsley, and celery. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Fold together corn mixture and black beans. Season with salt and pepper. Add enough red wine vinaigrette to coat. (Do not feel compelled to use all of the dressing.)

Serve with any extra dressing on the side.
MEXICAN RICE, BLACK BEAN AND CORN SALAD WITH SALSA VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- Prepare rice according to package directions. Let cool. In medium bowl, combine all salsa ingredients and mix well. Combine all remaining ingredients with cooled rice then toss with vinaigrette. Chill for 2 hours before serving.
Tips:
- Choose ripe and fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your salad. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp bell peppers, and fresh cilantro.
- Use a variety of textures: Incorporating different textures into your salad will make it more interesting to eat. Try adding crunchy vegetables like celery or jicama, soft vegetables like avocado or cucumber, and creamy beans like black beans or chickpeas.
- Don't overdress your salad: A little dressing goes a long way. Drizzle your salad with dressing just before serving, and toss to coat. If you add too much dressing, your salad will become soggy.
- Let your salad chill: Chilled salads are more refreshing, especially on a hot day. If you're making your salad ahead of time, let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
Black bean and corn salad is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make side dish that's perfect for any occasion.
