This Southwest Black Bean and Corn Salad recipe totally reminds me of SUMMER! Which is the best season in by opinion. It's fresh, bright, colorful and the perfect side salad for any potluck or summer BBQ you are attending! This salad is packed with flavor and crunch from the veggies and might be one of my favorite salads I've ever made. I am a sucker for good Mexican flavors and this salad is no exception. It's vegetarian, and can easily be made vegan by omitting the cheese! Make this with the fresh veggies you have on hand as well as the canned goods in the pantry! Can't wait to see you all make this!
