GRILLED CORN AND BLACK BEAN SALAD WITH CILANTRO VINAIGRETTE
I love veggie salads. They're great on their own or mixed into leafy green salads. This grilled corn salad pops with flavor and is rounded out by heartiness from black beans and creaminess from queso fresco cheese.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. On the other side of the stove place a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the corn to the boiling water and cook until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the water and allow drain on a plate covered with paper towels.
- Once the grill is hot, brush the grill pan with oil and place the bell pepper and jalapeño on the pan. Grill the bell peppers until grill marks form, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Grill the jalapeño until marked on all sides, about 3 minutes.
- Brush the grill pan again with oil and place the dry ears of corn on the pan. Cook, turning the corn occasionally, until the kernels start to blacken on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to cool.
- When cool enough to handle, slice the kernels from the cobs and place in a large bowl. Chop the bell pepper and add it to the bowl. Remove the stem end and seeds from the grilled jalapeño, then finely chop it and add to the corn mixture. Add the black beans, onion and cilantro.
- For the vinaigrette: Combine the lime zest, lime juice, tomato, red onion, garlic, adobo sauce, cumin, coriander, salt and chili powder in a blender. Blend on high speed until almost smooth. Lower the speed to medium-low; with the motor running slowly drizzle in the oil. Turn off the blender, scrape the sides if needed and add the cilantro. Pulse a few times until the cilantro looks like small specks of green.
- Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables in the bowl and toss. Taste and adjust any seasoning, adding more salt as needed. Sprinkle the salad with queso fresco just before serving.

GRILLED CORN AND BLACK BEAN SALAD WITH BASIL-LIME VINAIGRETTE
A delicious summer salad! I use a bit less of the cumin for my family's taste. I have used the frozen corn with good results as well. The flavors mix SO well together, make sure you give them a chance to marry. Prep time does not include the chilling time. Adapted from Food Network, the Giada Show. Hope you enjoy!

CORN SALAD WITH LIME VINAIGRETTE
I threw this salad together with ingredients I had in my kitchen one evening. This light and tasty alternative to a regular salad will accompany Mexican dishes perfectly. This also works well served as a dip with tortilla chips and tastes even better a day after making it. Serve as a side dish or as a dip with chips and salsa.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, sweet corn on the cob. If you don't have access to fresh corn, frozen corn kernels can be used instead.
- If you don't have a grill, you can roast the corn in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
- To make the basil lime vinaigrette, use fresh basil and lime juice. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but the flavor will not be as intense.
- This salad is best served fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Grilled corn and black bean salad with basil lime vinaigrette is a delicious and refreshing summer salad that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and barbecues. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. For example, you can add more or less spice, or you can substitute different types of beans or vegetables. No matter how you make it, this salad is sure to be a hit!
