BLACK BEAN AND CORN SALAD - SPICY MEXICAN SALAD/SIDE DISH



Black Bean and Corn Salad - Spicy Mexican Salad/Side Dish image

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.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 29

1/2 cup grapeseed oil, divided
1 large red onion, diced
2 cloves fresh garlic, chopped
1 pound frozen corn kernels or about 4 ears fresh (do not use canned corn - it becomes gummy)
One 16-ounce can black beans, drained
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh scallions, (about 2 to 4 scallions) white and tender green parts only, sliced on the diagonal
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro leaves
1 mango, diced small
2 teaspoons diced red onion
2 teaspoons diced red bell pepper
2 teaspoons diced green bell pepper
1 teaspoon chopped chives
1 lemon, juiced
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 shallot, quartered
2 teaspoons chopped chives
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup canola oil
1 large ripe tomato, diced small
2 tomatillos, diced small
1 garlic cloves, lightly crushed with the side of a knife blade to release oils, then finely minced
2 tablespoons chiffonnade fresh flat-leaf parsley (1 small handful, about 1-ounce, rinsed and dried
2 stalks celery, small diced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

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.) Transfer to a serving dish, and top with a spoonful of mango salsa in the center surrounded by a ring of tomato salsa. Garnish with scallions and cilantro leaves. Serve with any extra dressing on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beans: Black beans are the most common type of bean used in this salad, but you can also use other types of beans, such as kidney beans, pinto beans, or chickpeas.
  • Cook the beans properly: If you're using dried beans, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking. This will help them soften and cook evenly.
  • Use fresh corn: Fresh corn is the best choice for this salad, but you can also use frozen or canned corn in a pinch.
  • Don't overcook the corn: Corn should be cooked just until it's tender-crisp. Overcooked corn will be tough and chewy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to black beans and corn, this salad can include a variety of other vegetables, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and onions.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really brings this salad together. Be sure to use a dressing that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served chilled. You can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Black bean and corn salad is a delicious, healthy, and refreshing salad that's perfect for summer gatherings. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a light and flavorful salad, give black bean and corn salad a try.
