Black Bean & Corn Salsa Salad
Description
This salad blends fresh vegetables and canned black beans for a hearty, crunchy texture. Cherry tomatoes and cucumbers add juiciness and mildness, while the poblanos and jalapenos introduce varied levels of peppery heat. Red onion brings pungency, and cilantro adds herbal brightness.
The vinaigrette, made from apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and fresh ground black pepper, complements the vegetables with a tangy sweetness and subtle spice, tying together the flavors.
Prepared simply by tossing the salad ingredients with the vinaigrette, it can be served immediately or chilled. It works well as a side dish or light meal during warmer weather.
