4 Videos | Photo: Corn and Black Bean Salad with Basil-Lime Vinaigrette Recipe
Ingredients
Salad:
- 2 ears fresh corn or 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (15-ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 mango, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Vinaigrette:
- 2 limes, zested and juiced
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
For the salad: Preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Peel back the corn husks. Remove the silks and replace the husks. Soak the corn in cold water for 30 minutes. Drain and place on the grill for 10 to 15 minutes. Cool completely and remove the husks. Using a sharp knife, remove the corn kernels. In a medium bowl, mix together the grilled corn, black beans, garbanzo beans, bell pepper, and mango.
For the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine the lime zest, lime juice, balsamic vinegar, basil, and cumin. Slowly add the oil, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss well. Refrigerate for 1 hour, and toss again, before serving.

This was amazing! I had my reservations about the mango but the mixture of flavors in this was simply delightful. My boyfriend loved it so much he ate the little bit of leftover for breakfast.
When I make a recipe for the first time I make it as suggested, then if I want to make changes next time I do. I will make this the same except to double the batch.

I eat this salad almost every day for lunch. It is delicious! I do not use mango(sorry do not like but place on top of bean and corn salad, cucumber,cherry tomatoes,and scallions. A hard boiled egg on the side makes for a healthy,filling lunch.

I think this dish has potential, but with every bite, I felt it was missing something. I decided it had too much citrus, so added some sugar and sriracha sauce and it was much better. Not sure what I did wrong as everyone seemed to like it so much. So sad.
