MEXICAN CHICKEN AND BLACK BEAN SALAD



Mexican Chicken and Black Bean Salad image

I call this diet haters' diet food because simple substitutions mean you won't feel deprived. You shouldn't miss the tortilla chips because you have delicious black beans instead, and you still get the yummy spicy Mexican flavor and cheese. While not necessarily authentic, this salad is easy to make! If you have time, it's is also wonderful topped with onions and maybe fresh jalapenos.

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.
