Black Bean and Corn Salad
Description
Black Bean and Corn Salad blends sweet corn kernels, black beans, red bell pepper, and red onion with a simple dressing of red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. The combination offers a balance of textures from the corn and beans, with brightness from the vinegar and the herbal freshness of parsley.
The salad can be served right away for a fresh crunch or chilled for a cooler option, making it a versatile side dish or light meal addition. It pairs well with dishes requiring a refreshing complement, providing both color and nutrition.
