Sharing Black Bean & Corn Salad Recipe With Foodies_Redoing Old Posts
Foodies_Redoing Old Posts is a group started by Renu who blogs at Cook With Renu. It allows members to redo old posts. For me it usually is with more structured writing and better photos. I had first posted this recipe on 16/05/2018 with pretty bad photos. Sweet succulent summer corn was a reminder that I need to redo this old post. Sharing a better version of it on 25/09/2026.
Black Bean & Corn Salad
This salad is pretty much versatile. Add other veggies of your choice. Add a protein like chicken, replace feta with cheddar cheese. Or even better is cotija cheese if you get some in your area. Add homemade dressing or any store bought dressing of your choice. I have made lime garlic dressing to go with this salad. I didn’t add greens as I didn’t have any at the time of taking photos. However, whenever I do make the salad, I add either lettuce, arugula or mixed greens. As for the corn, during summer, I prefer to boil, steam fresh corn cobs and remove the kernels. If I make this salad during winter or spring time, I use either frozen or canned corn.
