This black bean corn salad recipe is a delicious side dish or light meal full of fresh summer vegetables from the farmers market.

This black bean corn salad is one of my favorite side dish recipes. I’ve sampled different versions over the years at various potluck events, and I always go back for seconds. The combination of black beans, corn, and other vegetables with a lime dressing has an irresistible flavor.

This recipe is a great base, but I recommend personalizing it to your tastes. Add diced chili peppers, chipotles in adobo sauce, or hot sauce for some kick. A little cumin and honey are nice additions, too. I use raw corn straight from the cob, but you can cook it briefly if you prefer it that way. There are so many ways to enjoy this delicious salad.
