A vibrant and flavorful salad combining charred corn, black beans, and fresh vegetables, perfect for any occasion.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the corn.
Stir occasionally to ensure even charring without burning.
Transfer the charred corn to a large mixing bowl.
Let the corn cool slightly before adding other ingredients.
Dice the red onion and tomatoes, then add them to the bowl with the corn.
Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes for better texture.
Rinse and drain the black beans, then add them to the bowl.
Ensure the beans are well-drained to avoid excess moisture.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, ground cumin, lime juice, and salt.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
Toss gently to avoid mashing the beans.
Chop the cilantro and sprinkle it over the salad as a garnish.
Add the cilantro just before serving for maximum freshness.
Serve the salad in a large bowl or individual plates.
Pair with tortilla chips or as a side to grilled dishes for a complete meal.
