  • Author: Sophia Turner
  • Total Time: 28 minute

Ingredients

– 2 cups canned black beans (rinsed and drained)
– 1 cup fresh or frozen corn (grilled for best flavor)
– 1 red bell pepper (diced)
– 1 avocado (diced)
– 1 small red onion (finely chopped)
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
– ½ cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
– 1 lime (juiced)
– Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Beans and Grilled Corn Salad with Cilantro-Lime Crema:

1. Grill the Corn: Preheat your grill to medium-high. Place corn directly on the grill. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until nicely charred. Remove from grill and let cool. Once cool, cut the kernels off the cob and set aside.

2. Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, add the black beans, grilled corn, diced red bell pepper, avocado, chopped red onion, cherry tomatoes, and fresh cilantro.

3. Make the Cilantro-Lime Crema: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt or sour cream, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, lime juice, and a pinch of salt until creamy and well combined.

4. Combine Ingredients: Pour the cilantro-lime crema over the bean and corn mixture. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are well coated.

5. Season: Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and additional lime juice as necessary.

6. Chill: If time allows, refrigerate the salad for 15-30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

7. Serve: Give it one last gentle toss before serving it in a beautiful bowl or on a plate.
