Carolyn's Corn Salad

Post by Queenie »

I've been making this for years, and it's AWESOME - better if it sits overnight and marinates.  It is very similar to a recipe that is way back in the archives, but mine has a mango in it... and I think it really makes a difference.  There have been times that I didn't have a mango and used a peach - still good!

Corn Salad

One 11 oz. can corn, drained
One 15 oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 whole mango, chopped fine
1 fresh tomato, chopped fine
¼ cup green pepper
½ cup onion, chopped fine
1/8 tsp cumin
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper, black
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper
2 Tablespoons lime juice, canned or bottled, unsweetened
1 teaspoon oil, olive, salad or cooking
tiny bit of cilantro, chopped fine

***************************************

Mix all together.  Will keep for about a week in the fridge (if you hide it good enough!).

Makes about 4 cups.

I did measure the lime juice and olive oil, but just sprinkled the spices over the top.

No problem!  I especially like to make it in the summer with home grown tomatoes - AWESOME!

Oh - I forgot to mention - most of the time I make a double recipe - makes a LOT of corn salad!
