This salad is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the sweet corn and black beans, and they don't even notice the healthy spinach.

I love that this recipe is so customizable. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your own taste. I like to add a little bit of chopped cilantro and avocado to mine.
