Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 ears fresh corn on the cob
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans
- 1 large mango
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 large lime
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Shuck the corn and place the ears directly on the grill. Roast for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and tender. Remove from heat and let cool.
While the corn cools, rinse and drain the black beans, then transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Dice the mango, red bell pepper, and red onion into small, bite-sized pieces. Add them to the mixing bowl.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl.
Using a sharp knife, cut the roasted corn kernels off the cobs and add them to the salad mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of the limes, extra virgin olive oil, honey, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 day before serving. Enjoy!
