Black bean and corn salad

12 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
5 cups Canned or cooked black beans
Garlic vinaigrette (see recipe)
2 cups Cooked corn kernels, preferably fresh
3 larges Bell peppers, preferably one each green, red, yellow cut julienne
3 Scallions, thinly sliced
¼ cup Chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons Minced fresh oregano OR
teaspoon Dried oregano
1 teaspoon Ground cumin
½ teaspoon Ground coriander
cup Garlic vinaigrette, or as needed
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Round or triangular tortilla chips for garnish

Directions

Marinate the beans in Garlic Vinaigrette for at least 2 hours, then drain. Reserve vinaigrette for dressing the salad.

Combine all the ingredients except garnish in a mixing bowl and toss together thoroughly. Use enough vinaigrette to coat and flavor the ingredients but not drench them.

This can be made several hours ahead and refrigerated until needed.

Transfer to a large serving bowl and tuck tortilla chips around the edges for garnish.
