Sweet & Spicy Black Bean Salad (Or Dip) image

I could honestly eat this for days in a row...nothing else. It's a great combination of sweet corn and black beans and lots of other tasty things! It's worth the bit of mincing and is a great dish to make ahead of time. This can be served as a salad, but I've always made it as an appetizer dip, served with tortilla chips.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 settings, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups sweet corn (I use frozen, thawed)
2 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
1/2 cup green onion, minced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, minced
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a jar or container with tight-fitting lid, combine lime juice, oil, brown sugar, mustard, salt and pepper. Shake until completely blended.
  • In a separate bowl, combine beans, corn, green onions, jalapeno and cilantro.
  • Pour dressing over bean mixture and toss to coat.
  • Cover and chill for atleast an hour or up to a day. If a day, give it a stir or two.
  • To serve as a salad, arrange with cabbage or lettuce leaves. Add more cilantro to make it pretty on top, if you wish.
  • To serve as an appetizer, I like to eat it with tortilla chips.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I omitted the jalapeƱo. The salad was still delicious.
