Southwestern Corn & Black Bean Salad

Source: Eating Well

Here's a great make-ahead dinner--and leftovers are welcome for lunch the next day. If you make it ahead, don't add the salt and pepper until just before serving. That way, the salt won't render the vegetables soggy and the pepper won't lose its bite. Make It a Meal: Scoop up this salad with warm corn tortillas.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 15-ounce can of unsalted corn
  • 1/3 cup toasted pine nuts (Optional)
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 2 15-ounce cans black beans, rinsed
  • 2 cups shredded red cabbage, (see Tip)
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 1/2 cup minced red onion

PREPARATION

Whisk lime juice, oil, cilantro, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the corn, pine nuts, beans, cabbage, tomato and onion; toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

TIPS & NOTES

  • Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
  • Convenient preshredded cabbage can be purchased, in bags, in the produce section of most supermarkets.
