This Black Bean and Corn Salad is colorful, refreshing, and fast. I have served it with roasted or grilled delicious chicken, steaks, sausages and even pan fried fish.
Tip : If you are not planning to serve this salad immediately, it is best to mix in the black beans just before serving as the juices will darken the color of the salad
