Corn and Black Bean Salad By Kelly Miller • June27,2018 • Updated January 13, 2020 • 3 Comments1.5K2 Jump to Recipe This fresh Corn and Black Bean Salad is quick and easy! Corn, black beans, and balsamic dressing along with garden fresh tomatoes, green pepper and onion – don’t forget the tortilla chips! Last month I was so much looking forward to school being out, baseball season being done, and just having a relaxing summer with the boys. HA! We’ve filled up our schedule with day trips here and there and fun summer activities. Eating healthy can be a challenge during these spontaneous summer days, but this Corn and Black Bean Salad comes to the rescue! Plans, activities, and schedules can vary drastically week to week during the summer in our family. Something I’ve learned is to plan meals and snacks that are ready and waiting in the fridge or pantry. Having a batch of this corn and black bean salad in the refrigerator, and a big bag of tortilla chip scoops, puts my mind at ease! There’s a hearty lunch/snack waiting for us at home and there’s no need to run through a drive through on our way back from the water park. Tips for making this Corn and Black Bean Salad: My biggest suggestion with this recipe is to use fresh veggies where you can. For example, I’ve listed frozen corn in the ingredients list, but if you have fresh corn absolutely use that instead! I’m looking forward to harvesting my own fresh cherry tomatoes and green peppers to use in this salad – it’s going to taste SO good!
