Black Bean and Corn Salad
This is one of my favorite summer side dishes. It’s also very similar to Cowboy Caviar. Find all of the ingredients for Black Bean and Corn Salad on Burnt Macaroni.

We ran out of time for this recipe, but if you want to make it yourself, you can share what you thought when we make it soon. This may be my second summer salad recipe. Although this is something you can make all year! Check out the recipe for Tomato Feta Salad here!
