Spicy Corn and Black Bean Salad

Read Reviews (5)

"This delicious salad doubles as a great Southwestern-style side dish or as a salsa with chips. The lime and jalapeno give it the perfect zest and kick. My family loves this. So will yours!" — Kari

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir corn, fajita seasoning, and black pepper in the hot oil until corn is lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Mix corn mixture, black beans, red bell pepper, green onion, jalapeno pepper, cilantro, lime juice, orange juice, and salt together in a bowl; cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.

It was good, but nothing special. Liked the spiciness and the lime. Needed something else, though, and I'm not quite sure what. Some vinegar? A little sweet? For a southwest salad/side dish, I like Mexican Bean Salad from this site a lot better.

Really loved this salad the only reason that I did not give it 5 stars is I thought it could use a little more kick. I added a few tablespoons of salsa (Hot and spicy) and that really spiced it up and enhanced the flavor. It is also a great diet food tasty and low cal.

Used shoepeg corn because I had a can open and it was still good. I will try fresh that I've grilled next time.

Great recipe! I made it exactly as is but used more fajita seasoning to spice it up even more. Turned out fantastic and everyone loved it. I used 8 ears of fresh corn and turned the heat up to medium high because medium just wasn't getting it done well. Will definitely keep and make again!
