Roasted Corn Black Bean Salad

June 5, 2013 · by Ari ·

Roasted Corn Black Bean Salad #vegan #glutenfree

You guys…it is HOT here. Have I mentioned that? Complained about highs of 110*?? Wahhhh, I live in Arizona and 5 months out of the year, I strongly question my life choices.

It’s okay though, because I’ve only got an other 10 days of this madness before I head to the northwest for SIX WEEKS!!! I’m starting with a little vacation in San Francisco to visit my friend Karisa with my New York Husband, then working at a theatre camp in Portland for 5 weeks. I went last summer, and this actually marks my 11th summer between my time as a first student, then counselor and now teacher. I love it. It’s my happy place, and this time of year I always need the recharge of a new environment to remind me why I love what I do.

Anyway, I guess you were maybe here to read about food? Well, I swear the heat relates to the food. You see….it’s hot (redundant, part of 1), and I don’t want to eat anything that doesn’t taste like summer. You know what is, like, the most summeriest food??? CORN!!!!

I just used the words “most summeriest”. Honestly, sometimes I’m not sure why you guys read a word a say. Oh yeah….the food.

This salad is light, refreshing and filled with “most summeriest” flavor. Fresh roasted corn, cherry tomatoes, crunchy cucumber, sweet red peppers, spicy jalapeno and protein-packed black beans come together with just a little olive oil, vinegar, some honey or agave (I love honey, but my bee loving friends are free to use agave!), fresh lime juice, and of course, my favorite food–cilantro! So many of my favorite things in one summer salad. I also love that with all the protein, it can be used as a meal, or a side dish–your choice. I’ve been eating it on the side with my 5 billion different burgers, but I also like it for lunch. However you eat it, you will love the light, fresh taste and bold flavor profile!

    I love Portland! Jealous of your spending 5 weeks there this summer.

    Corn and black bean salads are my go-to quick meals during the summer. Everything comes together quickly and tastes fab!

    What a fun vacation you have planned. I hear ya about the heat, we are from Texas and although it’s been years since we lived there I don’t know how I ever did it my whole life. The salad looks delicious- I make one similar and it goes with everything!

    Lately I’ve been making lots of very similar salads and eating them with everything: chicken, fish, rice, quinoa. I also love to add some tropical fruit and a lot of heat!!!

    Portland sounds like it will be so nice! I’ve never been there before. And this salad? I’m all over it. I love roasted corn/black beans together. Corn & black bean salsa is my favorite!
