Southwest Black Bean and Corn Salad
A Southwest Black Bean and Corn Salad is a great salad to bring to family gatherings and provides a healthier option to some of its popular counterparts. It looks more appealing too with all of its fresh ingredients and beautiful colors.
The name Southwest also brings numerous happy memories for me including trips to famous destinations like Zion National Park, Arches National Park, The Grand Canyon and Monument Valley. There is so much to see and do in this area!
Did I mention that it tastes great too? If you are lucky there will be leftovers after your family gatherings for leftovers too!
I love to make this as a side salad with dinner. It comes together really quickly with just having to toss things in a bowl and serve it. We even added it to our top things to serve with ribs list.
The dressing is made in its own bowl and then added to the corn and bean salad. I suggest adding the dressing little by little until you get the flavor and texture you enjoy.
The remaining oil dressing can be set to the side and you can add it later or have guests put more on if they like a heavier sauce on their salads.
