EASY MEDITERRANEAN BEAN SALAD



Easy Mediterranean Bean Salad image

Easy three bean salad recipe packed with Mediterranean flavors from fresh herbs, capers, and a zesty Dijon garlic vinaigrette. Instead of mushy canned green beans, use fresh steamed ones, or swap them out for another type of bean. I chose to use cannellini beans! After dressing the bean salad, allow it to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving, so that the beans can absorb the zippy dressing.

BLACK BEAN AND CORN SALAD RECIPE



Black Bean and Corn Salad Recipe image

This easy and bright black bean and corn salad with Pablano pepper, fresh mint, and lime will surprise your taste buds in the best way possible!

Provided by Suzy Karadsheh

Categories     Salad

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ears corn, (cleaned with no husks (or 1 1/2 cup cooked corn from frozen))
1 medium poblano chile
1 3/4 cups cooked black beans or from a can, (rinsed if from can)
1/2 cup grated coconut
1/4 to 1/4 cup lightly packed mint leaves, (chopped)
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 cup cherry tomatoes, (halved or quartered depending on size)
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt

Steps:

  • Cook the corn in the microwave and prepare it. If working with corn (no husk) on the cob, wet two paper towels and wring out excess water. Wrap each ear of corn in the moist paper towel and place on a dinner plate. Cook in the microwave for 5 minutes. Let cool briefly then carefully remove the paper towel. Cut each cob in half crosswise, then stand one half at a time on a cutting board, cut side down, and slice off the kernels. Transfer the corn kernels to a large mixing bowl. (Alternatively, prepare 1 1/2 cups from frozen cooked according to package instructions.)
  • Roast the pablano pepper. Set the pablano pepper on the grates over a gas burner turned to high and use your tongs to turn the pepper until blackened in spots all over. (Alternatively, you can do this under the broiler).
  • Peel the roasted pablano and chop. Place the roasted pablano in a bowl and cover plate, and let steam for 10 minutes. Uncover, and when cool enough to handle, use your fingers to slip off the blackened skin, then remove and discard the stem and seeds. Chop the roasted pablano into 1/2-inch pieces and add to the mixing bowl with the corn.
  • Mix the salad. Now add the black beans, coconut, mint, lime juice, tomatoes, olive oil and kosher salt. Toss to combine. Taste and adjust salt to your liking. Serve immediately!

MEDITERRANEAN CORN SALAD



Mediterranean Corn Salad image

A simple salad best served at room temperature, so it's perfect for summer BBQs and potlucks. I think some marinated artichokes and some sundried tomatoes would be good additions to this recipe as well. I also throw in about 1/2 tsp of Greek seasoning in mine. Recipe from Dierberg's Everybody Cooks.

MEDITERRANEAN THREE BEAN SALAD



Mediterranean Three Bean Salad image

I made this after being inspired by a wonderful salad served at our favorite local Mediterranean eatery and wanted to be able to make such an easy, healthy and delicious salad at home. You can use fresh, frozen, or canned corn, as long as you adjust the preparation as needed - if frozen, thaw before adding to salad; if canned, drain and rinse before adding. I am labelling servings as a side dish - if you want to serve as an entree, adjust ingredients accordingly.
