Photo: Grilled Corn and Bean Salad Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup canola oil, divided
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon chili powder, divided
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 6 ears corn, shucked
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cored and diced
- 1 medium red onion, diced
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Directions
Preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium heat.
In a small bowl, add 1/4 cup of the canola oil, the cumin, 2 teaspoons chili powder, and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Stir to combine. Brush each ear of corn liberally with the seasoned oil.
Arrange the corn on the hot grill and cook for about 12 minutes, giving each ear a quarter turn every 3 minutes. Remove from grill and let cool for 5 minutes. When cool enough to handle cut kernels from corn.
In a medium serving bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup of canola oil, 1 teaspoon chili powder, the lime juice, garlic, bell pepper, onions, beans, and cilantro. Adjust the seasonings with salt and black pepper, to taste. Add the corn kernels and stir to combine. Mix the ingredients well and serve with tacos, if desired.

I made this, taking away some ingredients and changing others, overall though I followed the recipe and really enjoyed this dish. I served it with tacos and it was just wonderful.

This salad is muy flavorful. Of course, being from California I had to add an avocado, which made it just that more delicioso. This recipe made me one happy Gringo, or is that Gringa…I need to take Spanish lessons. As a side note, I absolutely love Brian’s show and I am looking forward to seeing new episodes. He never fails to make me laugh!
