This easy Black Bean Salad recipe is what I use when I have to take a dish to an event because it is so quick to make and everyone comes back for seconds.
Being a Jersey girl, this salad showcases two of my favorite local ingredients, corn and tomatoes. This salad is best at the peak of summer when corn is most sweet, fresh, and juicy. Its light, crisp flavor makes a delicious side dish when served with grilled meats, or it can also stand alone as a light lunch.
Continuing on the theme of the delicious southwest flavors, please let me introduce to you my new favorite salad. Oh, this salad. I could wax poetic about it’s lovely qualities. But I won’t. Lucky for you.
Why mess with perfection? Like our smart combo of tomatoes, basil and mozzarella. Arrange them on a plate, drizzle a little dressing and let the flavors do their work.
Warm, coin-shaped slices of pan-fried carrots, white alubia beans, and chopped dill tossed with a tangy-sweet lemon shallot dressing. It tastes good the day you make it, even better the day after.
