Ingredients
  

  • 1 can (15-oz) black beans rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups fresh sweet corn cut from the cob (about 2-3 ears)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved or quartered
  • 1/2 cup red onion finely diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice about 1-2 limes
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Drain and thoroughly rinse the black beans under cold water. If using fresh corn, carefully slice the kernels off the cob.
  • In a large serving bowl, combine the prepared black beans, corn kernels, halved cherry tomatoes, finely diced red onion, and chopped fresh cilantro.
  • In a separate small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the fresh lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, ground cumin, kosher salt, and black pepper until fully emulsified.
  • Pour the lime vinaigrette over the corn and black bean mixture. Gently toss the salad until all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together perfectly. Give it one final toss right before serving.
