Ingredients

• 3 ears fresh corn on the cob
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans
• 1 large mango
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
• 2 large lime
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Shuck the corn and place the ears directly on the grill. Roast for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and tender. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 3

While the corn cools, rinse and drain the black beans, then transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Dice the mango, red bell pepper, and red onion into small, bite-sized pieces. Add them to the mixing bowl.

Step 5

Finely chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl.

Step 6

Using a sharp knife, cut the roasted corn kernels off the cobs and add them to the salad mixture.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of the limes, extra virgin olive oil, honey, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 8

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until everything is evenly coated.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 day before serving. Enjoy!
