Black Bean and Corn Salad

Published on May 29, 2021 by Stephanie Kay

Jump to Recipe

Made with black beans, corn, avocado, and a cilantro-lime dressing, this black bean and corn salad is high in fiber and filled with healthy fats. This colorful salad works well as a light vegetarian meal, topped on a bed of lettuce, or as a vibrant side dish to grilled chicken, meat, or fish.

Black Bean and Corn Salad

Not only is this salad perfect for a summer BBQ but it keeps well in the fridge making it a great meal prep idea for quick and easy weekday lunches. If you want to make it ahead of time, just be sure to reserve the avocado until it’s time to serve to help keep it fresh and ensure it does not brown.
