This past summer I wanted a healthy side dish to serve with lunch or dinner. A salad that would last a week in the fridge and still taste great. This low calorie, healthy Black Bean & Corn salad is not only super easy but extremely cost effective. One can each of black beans and corn, 1/2 a red onion, celery, parsley, some seasonings and that is it!
Serve this black bean and corn salad with any main course protein for dinner or with any sandwich for lunch and enjoy! Here is my inspired recipe. Express Your Love Through Food!
