My Ron's favorite BLACK BEAN AND CORN SALAD/ Side dish /Vegetarian/Easy ❤

(All Videos) RACHEL COOKS WITH LOVE

This is an amazing salad, perfect side dish, dip or full meal. There is no doubt that this salad is on top of my list when barbecuing, grilling burgers or when I need a potluck dish because it's always a hit, i use it as a garnish in our meat tacos or a a topping in our burgers. My Ron always asks for it. When entertaining friends i like to set out an assortment of chips and serve it as an appetizer dip, then I watch it disappear quickly. If you're a vegetarian, and looking for a perfect meal this is it, just leave out the cheese and your set, you can make the perfect lettuce tacos, always crunchy and delicious. It's always best when eaten the same day, or your avocado can turn brown, this BLACK BEAN AND CORN SALAD, is easy to make and it's loaded with nutrients.

3 ears of corn
1 Tbsp salt (for boiling corn)
2 Cans black beans (drained and rinsed)

My husband and I call this “My Ron’s Favorite Salad .” So good! This is my third recipe of yours that I have tried in the last week. Thank you for the love you are putting into the world, Rachel. Your Ron is a lucky man! ❤️❤️❤️

We really do "eat with our eyes", so who wouldn't love this salad, especially in our hot Texas summers? Yummm!

Here in the South, we call that Texas Caviar and we eat it with Fritos Scoops. I don't add the avocado, because I like to let it sit and soak for a few hours in the Italian Dressing, and that would make the avocado very mushy and brown. We save our avocados for guacamole.

Looks delicious. I think I’ll make my own dressing as the bottled stuff has sugar in it.

black bean and corn salad is what got me liking cumin and though i don't like cilantro, it's just a must have in it...

I'm about a year late with my comments, but I make a version of this "black bean salsa" with canned Rotel tomatoes and no cheese. The juice from the tomatoes serves as my dressing. I plan on trying your salad this July 4th! Looks fantastic! Thanks!

Hi Rachel! Instead of reading, I must say that I've found a new before-bed pastime...I love all your videos...you are the BEST!!! Thank you for cooking and sharing!♥️

[samhandley]

That look so yummy! Avocado and cilantro just makes everything better

So I just made this dish & left it in a fridge for about 3hrs. Then had it for dinner & oh my, it is delicious. I followed the recipe exactly as stated. I used feta cheese, because I could not find that cheese that Rachel suggested. Otherwise I followed the recipe 100%. This is a keeper. Thank you Rachel.

I’ve been making this salad without the Italian dressing. I use olive oil and red wine vinegar instead. I also do not put cheese in it. I do add green onion and cilantro to freshen it up. No lime zest. As an option; just the juice of a lime or lemon.

I've made this several times and it tastes fantastic! I like to wait to add the avocado until just before serving it or to add sliced avocado to the top of a serving to preserve freshness.

I've spent hours watching your videos and copying down your recipes. Last week I made your potato salad and everyone loved it even more than mine, which everyone has always loved. Your's was the bomb and will now be my "go to" potato salad!! Two days ago I made your Black Bean and Corn Salad - the second of your recipes I've tried. OMG! My guy doesn't like it when I put corn in anything but he LOVED this salad! Whenever I've made this before, I made a honey-lime type dressing and I doubted yours would be better. I was wrong! And so easy, no need to gather a bunch of ingredients to make the dressing, just open the bottle! Can't wait to make your Warm Potato and Sausage Side dish tomorrow! Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent!

What a beautiful salad! Have to try this!

I always soak the onions for about 5 minutes before using. Takes away the sharp flavor in salads. Yummmm

[LaLoca]

I just made this. It’s so good. Used a can of corn that had problano and red pepper already in it. ❤❤❤ so good
