Use whatever type of corn is convenient. Four ears of grilled corn will do the trick here, and be more flavorful. But if time is short, you could use frozen or canned sweet corn instead.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 cups corn kernels (about four ears of grilled corn, or use frozen or canned)
  • 2 cups less-sodium black beans
  • 2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
  • Jalapeno or Serrano pepper, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 large lime
  • 1 tsp cumin

PREPARATION:

Combine corn, black beans, tomatoes, jalapeno/serrano chile pepper and cilantro in a medium bowl. Whisk oil, lime juice and cumin together. Drizzle over salad and toss until coated.

Serves 6.
