It’s a quick way to get fresh food on the table. With a can of black beans and a few pantry staples, it will be your new "back pocket" idea for all sorts of occasions!

    Bring it to cookouts and picnics, eat it as a side or a dip: the sky’s the limit.

    Variations

    I wanted a simple summer salad that used some of the canned goods in my cabinet. But summer is (in my opinion) one of the best seasons for produce, so feel free to use any fresh fruits or veggies you have on hand.

    • Avocado
    • Red onion
    • Cherry tomatoes
    • Red, orange, or yellow peppers 

    What to serve with black bean and corn salad?

    This Black Bean and Corn Salad with Honey Lime Dressing is full of different flavors and textures, and makes a great side dish. The best part? It’s delicious on its own and can be more than just a side dish. Serve it as a dip for chips or topping for grilled meats, burgers, or fish.
