Serving Suggestions for Black Bean and Corn Salad

The true beauty of a dish like this, is the versatility of the salad and how it can be manipulated to make so many amazing things.

You can use this salad as a Pico salad to serve on top of Tilapia Fish Tacos. You can add meat to make it a main course  or try it as a side dish for my  Best Ground Beef Enchiladas

If you want a true vegan meal try serving over quinoa, I have an easy way to cook it here in a rice cooker. Also try serving it over my Perfect Brown Rice.

Recommendations for Making Black Bean and Corn Salsa

I use canned corn for this recipe but if it is in season you can use fresh corn. You can even roast the corn or make a version of Mexican Street Corn. They even make a great canned roasted corn.

Additionally, you can use frozen corn, just make sure that it has been thawed first.
